Pizza Panini Sandwich Recipe By Tasty

SHEET-PAN PARTY PANINIS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Pour half of the melted butter onto a large sheet tray, brushing it across the entire surface.
• Shingle 12 slices of the bread onto the sheet pan, making sure each slice overlaps and the bread reaches the edges.
• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place any fillings you choose onto the bread. You can mix and match any flavor combos you prefer!
• For the ham and cheese sandwich, place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on the bread, four slices of ham, and 2 more slices of cheddar cheese.
• For the chicken-bacon-ranch sandwich, place the shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 3 bacon slices, grilled chicken slices, and ranch dressing on the bread.
• For the roast beef and onion sandwich, sprinkle on the shredded cheddar cheese, sliced roast beef, and half of the sautéed onions.
• For the cheesesteak sandwich, add the provolone cheese, grilled steak, sautéed onions, and sautéed peppers.
• For the turkey-bacon-avocado sandwich, add the shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced turkey, 3 slices of bacon, and the avocado.
• For the tomato basil mozzarella, add the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomato, 3 tomato slices, salt, pepper, and chopped basil.
• After all your fillings are in place, shingle another 12 slices of bread on top of the fillings.
• Brush the bread with the remaining melted butter.
• Place a second sheet pan over all the sandwiches and press down. Place heavy objects that can withstand oven heat, such as heavy pots or pans, on top of the pan to press the sandwiches.
• Bake the sheet pan for 20 minutes or until the fillings have warmed through.
• Remove the heavy objects and the top sheet pan, and bake the pressed sandwiches for another 20 minutes or until the bread turns golden brown and crisps up.
• Remove the sandwiches from the oven, carefully flip the tray onto a large cutting board, and slice squares of sandwiches.
• Enjoy!

PIZZA PANINI

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and the sausage and cook, breaking apart the sausage with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, red pepper and onion and cook, stirring often, until the peppers and onions are soft and the sausage begins to brown, about another 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Divide 1/4 cup marinara sauce between each half of one of the ciabatta rolls and top with a quarter of the mozzarella slices over the sauce. Place 2 slices of the pepperoni on the top half and fill the bottom half with a quarter of the sausage mixture. Sprinkle the sausage with 1/4 cup of the Parmesan. Sandwich together and continue with the remaining ingredients.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil and 2 of the sandwiches top-side down to the skillet. Place a small pan on top and press down gently to flatten slightly. Cook until golden brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the sandwiches and return the pan to the top, again pressing gently. Cook until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet and continue with the remaining sandwiches. Allow the sandwiches to cool to room temperature and then chill them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Before serving, slice the sandwiches into wedges like you would a pizza.
