Cuban Panini
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 5 min./batch
YIELD: 4 servings.
Out of all the panini recipes I make, this is my favorite. The Cuban sandwich is a twist on the old ham and cheese, usually with ham, Swiss, pickles, condiments and sometimes, as in this hearty version, smoked turkey. —Janet Sanders, Pine Mountain, Georgia
