Time 40m

Yield 2 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 tablespoons salted butter
1 small red bell pepper, sliced
1 small yellow bell pepper, sliced
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces thinly sliced deli roast beef
Couple dashes of Worcestershire
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
4 slices thick-sliced bread (Texas toast)
4 slices provolone cheese
1/4 cup Homemade Cheese Sauce, recipe follows
One 1-pound block processed cheese, such as Velveeta, cut into cubes
One 5-ounce can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
Pinch kosher salt
1 clove garlic

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and onion, season with the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Throw the roast beef into the same skillet, breaking it up a little as you go. Add a few dashes of Worcestershire and warm for about a minute or so. Remove from the heat.
  • To build: Heat a panini maker (or set a grill pan or skillet over medium-low heat).
  • Spread half of the mustard onto a slice of bread and top with 2 slices of provolone. Add half of the beef and veggie mix. Top with half of the Homemade Cheese Sauce and another slice of bread. Spread the top side of the bread with 1 tablespoon of butter. Repeat and build the second sandwich.
  • Invert the sandwiches butter-side down on the hot panini maker (or grill pan or skillet). Spread another tablespoon of butter on each of the tops.
  • Close the panini maker and grill until the bread is crusty and golden and the cheese is melted, 4 to 5 minutes. (If using a grill pan or skillet, carefully flip the sandwiches halfway through.) Slice in half and enjoy!
  • Place a double boiler over medium heat. Add the cubed cheese and milk and heat, stirring, until the cheese is melted and the mixture is combined, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard, vinegar and salt. Grate the garlic into the mixture using a rasp grater; stir to combine. Cook until the flavors meld, an additional 3 to 5 minutes.

BASIC GRILLED PANINI

This is a great grilled sandwich! Panini get their character or distinct look from the grill marks on the sandwich. I serve it with soup or even salad. This is the basic recipe. Enjoy!

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 slices thick-cut bacon, such as Nodine's applewood smoked
1 cup good mayonnaise
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 white pullman loaf or sourdough bread, sliced 1/2 inch thick (12 slices)
6 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
6 ounces aged Gruyere or Comte cheese
6 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, such as Cabot or Shelburne Farms

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the bacon on a baking rack set over a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, until nicely browned. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and cut in 1-inch pieces.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Lay 12 slices of bread on a board and spread each one lightly with butter. Flip the slices and spread each one generously with the mayonnaise mixture. Don't neglect the corners!
  • Grate the cheeses in a food processor fitted with the largest grating disk and combine. Distribute the bacon evenly on half the slices of bread. Pile 1/3 cup grated cheese evenly on top of the bacon and top with the remaining bread slices, sauce side down.
  • Meanwhile, heat an electric panini press. When the press is hot, cook the sandwiches for 3 to 5 minutes in batches until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Cut in half and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings and won't get soggy. Sourdough, French bread, and ciabatta are all good options.
  • Choose a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • Add other ingredients to your sandwich, such as thinly sliced ham, bacon, or avocado.
  • Be generous with the butter when you're grilling the sandwich. This will help it to brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the sandwich over medium heat so that the cheese has time to melt and the bread has time to toast.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tomato soup or honey mustard.
