• In my panini maker it's about 3-4 minutes for how I like it.
• To cook in a pan---cook over medium low heat until the bread is toasty, turn (carefully!) and weight the sandwich with another pan (or press down with a spatula) til golden.

PORTABELLA MUSHROOM PANINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• in a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of the olive oil with vinegar and salt.
• Place the mushroom slices on a baking sheet and brush with the mixture.
• Roast until the mushrooms are fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
• Brush the red pepper with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
• Hold the pepper with a long fork over an open flame, or roast under the broiler, turning often, until the skin gets black on all sides.
• This will take about 7 to 10 minutes over the flame and about 10 minutes in the broiler.
• Put the pepper in a paper bag and close tightly to steam it.
• When the pepper is cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and remove the seeds and stem.
• Slice the pepper into strips.
• To assemble the sandwiches, spread the ciabatta halves with mayo.
• Layer with the arugula leaves and read pepper slives, and top with the portobello slices to cover the length of the sandwiches.
• Spread the remainder of the mayo on the other sides of the bread and serve immediately.
