Ham And Cheese Panini Recipe
Summary
Ingredients
| 1 granary baguette, cut into 2 x 20 cm (8 inch) pieces and halved lengthways | ||
| Butter or sunflower margarine, for spreading | ||
| Ham | 75 Gram | |
| Mild cheddar cheese | 100 Gram, thinly sliced | |
| Cherry tomatoes | 4 , sliced | |
| Ground black pepper | 1 To taste | |
| Salt | To Taste | |
Directions
1. Place a heavy-based frying pan that is large enough to hold 1 of the paninis over a medium heat.
2. Spread the outside (the crusts) of the halved baguette pieces with the butter or margarine. Divide the ham and cheese between the two baguette sections, season lightly, if desired, and use a fish slice to press the 2 halves together, flattening them slightly.
3. Cook the Paninis one at a time in the preheated pan until they are golden on the outside and the cheese has melted. Do not be tempted to increase the heat too much, as the bread will burn before the cheese melts.
4. Set aside to cool completely then wrap securely and refrigerate overnight.
5. To complete, add the lettuce and tomato on the day the Panini is to be eaten.
