Preparation
Preheat your panini press: Most models come with an indicator light to let you know when they’re ready.
Prepare the Ingredients: Slice 2 pieces of bread (preferably sourdough) and 2 slices of cheese (such as kaškaval, Gouda, or your preferred melting cheese). If you’re using cured meat like ham, bacon, pepperoni, or prosciutto, slice it to your desired thickness.
Assemble Your Tost: Layer the sliced cheese on the bottom half of the bread. Add the cured meat on top of the cheese, but be careful not to overfill. For an extra touch, lightly brush the outside of the bread with butter or margarine to achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
Cook Your Tost: Place the assembled sandwich in the preheated panini press. Gently close the lid without pressing too hard to keep the fillings from spilling out. Cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness and your desired level of crispiness. The tost is done when it’s golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Finishing Touches: Carefully open the press and use a spatula to remove the tost. Let it cool for a minute, as the cheese can be very hot. Optionally, squeeze ketchup and mayonnaise on top for added flavor.
Serve with Style: For a perfect pairing, consider frying up some potatoes 🥔 and serving the tost with a glass of fermented milk and fresh vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers, tossed with vinegar, salt, and your preferred oil. 🥗
