How to cook deliciously - Eenie Meenie Panini

1. Stage

Grab the bottom half of the bread and drizzle on about 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Then sprinkle the bread with as many basil leaves as you like, plus fresh mozzarella, tomato slices, and a dash each of salt and pepper. Top the ingredients with another teaspoon’s worth of olive oil, drizzled all over. Put on the top piece of bread.

2. Stage

Pour just enough olive oil into the skillet to lightly cover the pan. Heat over a medium burner until the oil is shimmering, but not smoking.

3. Stage

Now the fun part! Put the sandwich in the skillet and weigh it down with the heavy pot or pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

4. Stage

Remove the heavy pot or pan, flip the sandwich over (you may need to add a bit more olive oil to the pan), and weigh it down again. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese is melting and oozing out the sides. Turn off the stove and enjoy your hot panini.
