Whether it's adding extra cheese, veggies, or a unique sauce, the possibilities are endless!2. Utilize a Panini Press: No waffle iron? No problem! A panini press works just as well for creating those crispy, golden-brown sandwiches that everyone loves.3. Prep Ahead for Convenience: Save time on busy nights by buying a rotisserie BBQ chicken from a grocery store in advance. Store it in the fridge until you're ready to assemble your paninis for a hassle-free dinner solution.4. Veggie-Friendly Options: For our vegetarian friends, consider adding roasted vegetables like bell peppers, zucchinis, mushrooms or onions to your paninis for a flavourful and satisfying alternative.5. Store and Reheat: Have leftovers? No worries! Store any extra paninis in the fridge and reheat them for a quick and delicious lunch the next day. Just warm them in the oven, or on a skillet (with a lid) until heated through. We do not recommend warming them in the microwave; they will get soggy!
