Grilled Paninis at Home

Tonight I needed to find a way to use up some ham lunch meat that we had left in the fridge that someone gave to us.  I love to get grilled paninis at Safeway and I happened upon a recipe in my cookbook for just that!  Was that lucky or what?

I got this recipe from Kraft Food & Family magazine which I used to get in the mail all of the time.  I haven't received one for quite a while....I wonder why.  But I didn't do it quite the way they suggested, so really, they only gave me the idea.  And I bet mine turned out better the way I did it!

Sourdough bread (1/2" thick)

Mayo

Ham lunchmeat

American cheese

I added spicy dijon mustard and turkey to mine.

Pre-heated George Foreman Grill or other sandwich griller machine

 

Spread butter on the underside of a piece of bread. On other side spread mayo, spicy dijon, and add cheese, turkey and ham.  Put the top piece of bread on and spread butter on the top, outside.  Put into grill.  It took about 5 minutes or so to grill, each one going faster than the next.  

There are many variations that you can do with this.  Bacon on it would be really good.  With another cheese, maybe Swiss.  Or Harvarti!  Mmmmm I'm getting hungry again!  

I don't usually blog about food, but I just had to share this recipe tonight.  It is so easy to get something really nummy!
