These are a great simple meal. I like the fact you can prepare them ahead of time, and then grill them when you are ready to eat. Tonight I will be watching my son play baseball before my husband gets home from work, but I can leave sandwiches for him and my daughters to have for dinner. So even though we aren’t eating as a family at least we are not eating fast food. I don’t have a panini press, so I just flatten the sandwiches with a cast iron skillet.
