Green Chile Panini

We had this last night with leftover pot roast.
Bread (we love sheepherder's bread)
The sauce I made last night was miracle whip with taco sauce stirred into it.
Cheese - we used leftover mozzarella but anything would be good
shredded pot roast
whole green chiles

Southwest Panini

This was really inspired by Rachel who described a sandwich she had at the Cannon Center.
1 Cup of Corn and Black Bean Salsa (Walmart has a great brand - sorry Rachel)
Drain it of all the excess tomato juice
Mix it with shredded chicken
You can either put shredded Mexican style cheese in with the salsa or put a spicy pepperjack on the bread.
In case anyone out there is new to the Panini world, the first thing you do is brush one side of the bread with olive oil. I place that on the grill (oil side down) and build the sandwich on the grill. I always put my sauce, and/or cheese first so that it can be melting while I build the rest of the sandwich on the grill. When all the other ingredients are on the sandwich top with the other slice of oiled bread - oil side out on top and grill.

Montana Panini

I actually got this recipe from a BYU website. They must make it at one of the restaurants. Here goes:

1 ripe Avocado
1 TBS ranch dressing
Slices of turkey
Pepperjack cheese
Crisp strips of bacon
Sliced tomatoes
Mash avocado and mix with the ranch dressing. Put this on the bread, next cheese, turkey, bacon and then sliced tomatoes. Grill. YUM!!!

Panini Night

Since I gave dad the greatest Father's day present ever - a panini maker - we have been LOVING!!! these sandwiches. We love them so much and since Sarah loves to have leftovers in her lunch we have designated Wednesday night as Panini Night. (We have long held Monday night as soup night - at least in the fall and winter.) I am always on the lookout for great Panini recipes. I'll include our latest three.
