Panini Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Caramelize the Onions

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Slice the onions thinly and add them to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized.

2

Assemble the Panini

On a slice of sourdough bread, layer the cheddar, mozzarella, and fontina cheeses. Add a generous portion of the caramelized onions on top, and then place another slice of bread on top.

3

Grill the Panini

Heat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, add a little olive oil to the surface. Place the assembled sandwich in the press or skillet, and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.

4

Serve

Remove the panini from the heat. Allow to cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
