Our Best Grilled Sandwich And Panini Recipes

In this world, there are sandwiches we eat and then there are sandwiches we get excited about eating. The latter of those two are almost always grilled -- like panini. Naturally, food is more appetizing when it's toasted golden brown and filled with melted cheese and so the panini will always win over the boring un-grilled sandwich.

And you can make them yourselves, at home, all the time if you want.

The most classic panini are stuffed with pesto chicken and mozzarella, and those are great, but it's just the beginning. We've found steak and cheese, mac and cheese and even chocolate and cheese panini. Are you picking up on the cheese trend? Check out these recipes and start grilling your sandwiches.
