This Panini Waffle is a original way to make it
I wanted to have a Panini sooooo bad that day so it was kind of a bummer not to have a Panini machine. I thought perhaps I could simply utilize a skillet to warm the sandwich and after that another on top to crush it, but I didn’t feel like doing it. At that point I had an insane idea to use my waffle press! So I hauled out my trusty waffle iron and all my sandwich stuff to get make my Panini Waffle . Let me tell you – it was soo tasty!!!
Food historians generally agree, panini, as we know them today, originated in the sandwich shops of Italy, perhaps as early as the 1960s. A survey of newspaper articles confirms that the panini sandwich caught the American consumers attention in the mid-1970s. As time progressed, panini evolved from upscale fare to trendy sandwiches for everyone.
