How to make a healthy panini
Begin by preheating your panini press or grill pan to ensure even cooking. Select your preferred bread (I am using gluten-free) and lay out the slices on a clean surface.
Layer your desired ingredients— deli meats, cheeses, vegetables, or spreads—on one slice of bread. Place the second slice on top to create a sandwich, and lightly brush the outer sides with olive oil or spread with butter for a golden, crispy texture.
Carefully transfer the sandwich to the preheated panini press or grill pan, pressing down gently to compress the ingredients. Grill the panini for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the fillings are heated through. Remove, let it cool slightly, and relish in your delightful homemade panini!
