Delicious! I left out the mayo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Used ciabatta bread

    We got a panini maker for the holidays and this is one of the first sandwiches we made in it. Our vegetarian daughter, who is a picky eater, loved them and so did everyone else. Like others, I opted to leave out the mayo and didn't miss it.

    Had REAL panini EVERY day when we traveled in Italy for 2 weeks. NO mayo !! Keep the filling thin, and Forman does a perfect job ! You can add a VERY thin slice of ham (Prociuto) and grill --or NOT. Use good quality rolls, and scoop out most of the bread filling, and add a nice bottle of Chianti Classico, and you can put yourself in another place ! Thanks for the memory, Bev !!

    Good eats! I would cut back on the mayo! Or skip it completely! So much flavor from the tomatoes, basil and vinegar you won`t miss the mayo. I liked the oil in place of the butter! Thanks!
