Panini

Among many other things, I got a panini press for Christmas, and today decided to try it out. So I scrounged through the kitchen in search of ingredients. It was an experiment, and I was surprised at how it turned out.

Ingredients:
2 slices of sourdough bread
1 pack of tuna
lettuce
2 full cross-section slices of onion
2-4 slices of bell pepper
3-4 slices of boiled egg
mustard
honey mustard

Procedure:
Warm up the panini press
In a pot filled with water, boil 1 or 2 eggs. I like hard boiled, but soft boiled is also fine. Let cool off, remove shell, and slice up.
Spread mustard on one piece of bread, and the honey mustard on the other.
To build sandwich, start with the mustard slice on the bottom. Lay the lettuce, followed by the onion, bell pepper, and egg. Add the tuna and top with the honey mustard slice.
Lay the sandwich on the panini press and... well... press. Keep an eye so it doesn't burn. It only takes a few minutes, if that. Remove from press, being careful because it is hot, slice in half and serve.

There are many possibilities with the panini press, and I hope you will all come along with me as I take my food journey.
