Tips:

  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the sandwiches so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the sandwiches over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bread from burning and will allow the fillings to cook through.
  • Press the sandwiches down with a spatula: This will help to ensure that the bread is evenly toasted and that the fillings are pressed together.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately: Southwestern beef paninis are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
