I just indulged and ordered a panini grill from Amazon.

Any suggestions for sammies?

1. I bet caprese salad would even be good on ice cream (I know good balsamic vinegar is).

2. I am salivating over that image

Is there anything better than fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil? Thanks for the suggestion. (Running out to get frest mozza...) Drool.

12. You can use pesto, too.

My favorite is pesto with mozzarella and fresh basil, if available, tomatoes or some fresh spinach optional. The mozzarella doesn't have to be the fresh kind, and provolone is also quite acceptable.

3. You are SO fucked.

[spiderpig]

4. Well, yes I am. But what do you think about turkey bacon and cheese?

Also, has anyone done a tuna melt? Inquiring minds want to know.

[HopeHoops]

5. That would involve meat. I'm a vegehegian.

[spiderpig]

6. I'm open to suggestions. I have fennel in the fridge.

And some nice fat tomatoes on the counter.

[HopeHoops]

7. some slimly sliced mushrooms and grated cheese with fresh cracked black pepper....

... Nuke it for 20 seconds (just to warm it).

8. I can't find it. I was going to order one to tell you about my sandwich.

If I had one, I would get some 100% whole wheat sub buns... and the crushed red pepper spread usually in the deli section... and an avocado sliced long ways... and some morning star fake bacon, then some banana peppers and munch away

9. Do a chicken Caesar salad sandwich

10. I use mine three or four times a week. Usually for lunch. I make turkey breast wraps with baby

greens and Swiss or muenster cheese. Virtually any sandwich can be put on the grill. Last week I made panini Reubens. I also make Cuban sandwiches frequently. Enjoy!

16. I am in sammie heaven

11. To all of the above, you are cranking up my base appetite in a most savory way

Seriously, I'm noting all your recs and will blame you for my 400 pound weight gain over the next couple of weeks

Meanwhile, we bought buffalo mozzarella and goat cheese at Costco yesterday. (We are suckers for their demo stations). Oh, and multigrain tortillas (the samples were filled with mozzarella). Any suggestions for good combinations?

13. Grilled Brie with spinach and garlic sandwich - DEEEEE-lish!

can post recipe if you like. (can also be made in a skillet if you don't have a panini maker)

Have also done Cuban sandwiches, also various combos w/ turkey and/or ham plus cheese and interesting pestos or spreads.
