My Cuisinart Griddler is easily one of my favorite kitchen tools. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, it can always be counted on to make a great meal. Today I wanted a quick sandwich for lunch. But quick doesn’t mean boring. Not when I’m making some easy spicy relish paninis! Made in only minutes, these lunchtime treats pack a little bit of heat (but not too much). Crunchy bread and melted cheese bring it all together in no time at all! Easy spicy relish paninis using the Cuisinart Griddler are reason enough to have the griddle on your countertop!

Easy Spicy Relish Paninis using the Cuisinart Griddler

Good Meats. Good Cheese. Good Bread.

The ingredients for a great panini are simple: use good ingredients. Don’t skimp. I prefer Italian meats, like salami or mortadella, but any decent deli meat will do. And grab a cheese that likes to melt easily. For the bread, my recommendation is to not use something with too many big ‘holes’ in it. If you do, spread the relish on in-between the meat and cheese layers so it doesn’t escape through the bread holes. You’ll end up enjoying these easy spicy relish paninis using the Cuisinart Griddler as much as I did!

Equipment

Cuisinart Griddler

Ingredients

4 slices Italian bread thicker is better
4 slices Genoa salami
6 slices hot salami or sandwich pepperoni
2 slices provolone cheese
Wickles Pickles Spicy Red Sandwich Spread to taste
2 teaspoons vegetable oil or olive oil

Instructions

Pre-heat your Griddler with the dials set for high-heat panini griddles.
Set out the bread slices on a cutting board or counter top.
Top with the meats and cheese.
Top the sandwiches with the relish. Be heavy handed or go light with it, it's up to you.
Add the top slices of bread to form the sandwiches.
Brush the outsides of the bread slices with the oil.
Transfer to the Griddler and close the lid. Cook until the bread is golden brown and crunchy.
Remove and let cool slightly before slicing (if desired) and serving.

Notes

Do not put a lot of pressure on the griddle lid while cooking as it will cause the meats and cheese to escape. Try to keep the lid level so that the tops of the sandwiches cook evenly.
