Recipes for Grilled Sandwiches & Panini at camp.

No matter what you call them - grilled sandwiches or Panini - they are always a hit. The ooey, gooey goodness of melted cheese and crispy caramelized bread is an irresistible treat. Almost any traditional sandwich can be made special by grilling it or cooking on a Panini grill. Here are just a couple of ideas for exceptional Panini.  

# 1 Panini Tip:

Wrap sandwiches in tin foil sprayed with butter or olive oil flavored cooking spray (like Pam) - this will make it easy to clean your panini press

A Panini press is a great tool and many of them come with changeable plates so they can be used as a grill or a griddle.
