Roasted Red Pepper Panini Recipes

Steps:

• Make 4 sandwiches with the bread, cheese, roasted pepper, and a sprinkling of sliced olives; keep your ingredients in single layers.
• Heat a nonstick griddle pan over medium heat.
• Wrap a brick completely in foil.
• Brush sandwiches on both sides with oil. Place sandwiches on grill and top with the foil wrapped bricks. Use one brick per 2 sandwiches to weight down. Grill weighted sandwiches 3 minutes on each side. Split sandwiches corner to corner and serve.

Steps:

• Char the peppers on all sides over an open flame on a gas stovetop or under a hot broiler (with the oven door cracked to avoid steam buildup in the oven). Put the charred peppers in a bowl, cover, and let them rest until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a soup pot. Add the garlic, carrot, celery, and onions to the pot and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes, then put them into a food processor with the diced tomatoes. Seed and peel the peppers and add them to the processor. Puree the mixture until smooth, then pour it into soup pot and stir in the stock.
• Heat a panini press or a large heavy skillet. Make sandwiches using 2 slices of cheese and 2 slices of ripe tomato on 4 of the bread slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste, and top with some torn basil. Cover with the remaining 4 slices of bread and add them to the panini press or hot skillet. If using a skillet, top with a second smaller pan and weight it down with heavy cans. Press the sandwiches to toast and melt the cheese, a few minutes on each side or 5 minutes in a hot press.
• Serve the soup in bowls with the Panini alongside.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or large nonstick griddle over medium to medium high heat. Build your sandwiches: place 2 or 3 slices of prosciutto on 1 piece of bread. Top with an even layer of roasted pepper and an even layer of sliced mozzarella, top with another slice of bread. Drizzle the tops of your assembled sandwiches with extra-virgin olive oil. Place the olive oil coated bread face down on the grill or griddle and drizzle the opposite side with additional extra-virgin olive oil. Weight the sandwiches down with a tin foil covered brick or a heavy skillet filled with a sack of flour or heavy canned goods. Press the sandwiches 2 or 3 minutes on each side, then serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut 8 thick slice of Foccacia bread.
• Mix mayonaisse and Ranch dressing in small bowl.
• Spread mayo mixture on 4 slices of Foccacia.
• On top of mayo mixture, layer each slice with equal amounts of chicken and place one slice of mozzarella cheese.
• Next, add the roasted red peppers and another slice of mozzarella on top of the peppers (this helps hold the sandwich together).
• Top each sandwich with remaining slices bread.
• Spray frying pan with Olive Oil spray (or other cooking spray).
• Fry each sandwich on medium until they are golden brown.
• Pop the sandwiches in the microwave for about 20-25 seconds to melt the cheese.
• Enjoy! These are so yummy!

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. Add the spinach to the boiling water and blanch for 10 to 20 seconds. Transfer to the ice water to cool for a few minutes, then drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds, and stir in the artichoke hearts. Stir for a few minutes, until the artichoke hearts are beginning to color, and add the thyme leaves and the spinach. Toss together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Preheat a panini grill. Top four of the bread slices with the artichoke hearts and spinach. Add strips of roasted pepper, then cheese. Top with the remaining bread and press together. Brush the outside of the bread (top and bottom slices) with olive oil. Place in the panini maker and grill for four to five minutes, until the cheese has melted and the bread is toasty. Slice in half and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat panini maker to medium-low.
• Open the roll and place a layer of cheese on the bottom half of the bread, fitting cheese to the contours of the bun. Layer rotisserie chicken, roasted sweet red pepper, onion rings, and bacon on top.
• Place a layer of fresh spinach leaves on the bacon and spoon prepared guacamole on top. Place second half of bun on top. Brush top and bottom plates of panini maker with butter, and place the sandwich in the buttered area.
• Close the panini maker and cook until cheese is melted, chicken is warmed, and bun is crispy and lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve warm with dill pickle spear.
