This recipe elevates the classic panini sandwich with a delightful combination of cheeses, meats, and a touch of spice.
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect crust.
Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface.
Using a serrated knife can help slice the bread evenly if needed.
Place a slice of mozzarella on four slices of bread.
Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Top the mozzarella with salami and pepperoncini.
Adjust the amount of pepperoncini to your spice preference.
On the other four slices of bread, place a slice of provolone and a slice of ham.
Layering the cheese and meat ensures a balanced bite.
Assemble the sandwiches by combining the two halves.
Press gently to keep the ingredients in place.
Brush the top of each sandwich with melted butter.
Use a pastry brush for even application.
Place the sandwiches butter-side down on the grill.
Arrange the sandwiches carefully to avoid overcrowding.
Brush the other side with melted butter.
This ensures both sides are evenly toasted.
Grill the sandwiches until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Check frequently to prevent over-toasting.
Serve the panini warm and enjoy.
Cut the sandwiches diagonally for a classic presentation.
