This is exactly what I was imagining today. It was easy and took five minutes. I used artichoke tapenade instead of the mayo and put it on the George Forman. I can't wait to play with the ingredients some more!! Thanks

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 !!
