I have an original George Foreman Grill (15 + years old) which is incredibly difficult to clean because the grates are not removable.  I rarely use it unless it is to make paninis, quesadillas or  grilled cheese sandwiches.  It works great for these – and the clean up is easy.

One of my favorite paninis I make is on fresh bakery bread, with sundried tomato aoli, breaded eggplant, basil, roasted red pepper and fresh mozzeralla cheese.

What is your favorite panini?
