Panini

This recipe started out as a Rachel Ray recipe. However, we started making adding things we enjoy and taking away things that weren't huge favorites. So...

Start with a loaf of Italian Bread sliced.
Get out sandwich meat (ham and turkey are favorites here), pepperoni and salami are good also.
Italian dressing or olive oil
Cheese (We like Provolone, Havarti, Mozzarella.)
Pizza Sauce
Pesto Sauce
Sliced Tomato
Spinach (frozen that is thawed and squeezed dry) mixed in Ricotta

Plug in your waffle iron.
Start assembling sandwiches. Use two pieces of bread and put meat, cheese, sauce, and veggies between the two slices.
Use a paintbrush or spoon to smear a little olive oil or Italian dressing on the outside of both slices of bread.
Place one sandwich at a time in the waffle iron. Press (rest the top on the sandwich, I don't actually press down) for a few minutes (I think I do about 5ish).
Remove from waffle iron, CAREFULLY!
Enjoy!
