Ingredients:

This is one of my favorite sandwich recipes. It's incredibly versatile as far as ingredients you can use. The one I'm doing is a fresh italian panini.

Ingredients:
Fresh mozzerella
Basil
Tomato
French Bread or Focaccia
Pesto/Tapenade/Aioli (if you're feeling sassy)
Proscuitto (if you're feeling carnivorous)
Olive oil (veggie oil works as well, but olive is better )

Supplies:
Stove
Pan
Brick
Tinfoil
Spatula

Step 1:

First off, go and get a brick. I grabbed one out of the walkway in front of my house.

Step 2:

Take a sheet of tinfoil, and wrap the brick like a present.

Step 3:

Next, get your ingredients together. Cut your bread into sandwich-sized chunks, and slice it in half, lengthwise.

Step 4:

Layer your condiment of choice (if any), then the tomato, then the cheese, and finally the basil. The order doesn't really matter, I suppose.

Step 7:

Put the top half of your bread on your sandwich, and balance the brick on top, pressing down a little. Don't press too hard, though.

Step 8:

Let the sandwich brown on the bottom. I'm not sure exactly how long, but check after 3-4 minutes. When the underside is done, it will look like this:

Step 9:

Flip it over and put the brick back on. Let it brown like the other side. Once it's brown, cut it in half, choose your favorite side-snack, put it on a plate and enjoy!
