Italian Panini

The Italian panini is one of our favorites.  It has a lot of flavor and with a side salad, makes a delicious lunch.  Make sure you get a good Italian bread, like focaccia bread, that has a lot of Italian seasonings in it.  Slice it thick, into about 1" slices.  
For each panini you will need:
2 slices focaccia bread, 1" thick, buttered on one side
Mozzarella cheese, 2 slices or 1/4 c. shreddred
1 T. onion, diced
2 T. black olives, sliced
8 slices pepperoni
1 slice salami
3 slices tomato
Layer the ingredients on 1 slice of bread, putting only half of the cheese on bottom.  Put the last of the cheese on top.  Grill on panini grill until golden brown.  Can be served with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

I don't have a Panini grill, would this work on an outdoor grill? Or just in a fry pan? D.J. Quick ;)

You can fry in a pan just like you would a grilled cheese. If you have a George Forman or a waffle iron you can use those. You can make your own panini grill. Here is a link on how to make your own panini grill http://www.ehow.com/how_2087794_make-panini-grill.html
