I think that the Cuisinart Griddler is one of the best kitchen appliances that I own. You’ll find me using it for everything from pancakes to burgers to these Italian panini with hoagie dressing. I think paninis come out spectacular on the Griddler. The bread gets perfectly crunchy and golden brown, like I love. The cheese gets nicely ooey and gooey. Of course, I love that too. All this in minutes with really easy cleanup. It’s impossible to go wrong with it. That’s why I love it! And this Italian Panini with Hoagie Dressing using the Cuisinart Griddler is just another example of the great (and crazy easy) sandwiches you can make with it!
Easy for the Win
The hoagie dressing adds a wonderful flavor to these Italian panini made using the Cuisinart Griddler. The dressing is a combination of oils, vinegars and spices. The dressing comes in a flavorful oil that adds even more flavor to the sandwiches that are already great thanks to great meats, cheese and breads.
We aren’t reinventing anything here. For that matter, we aren’t inventing anything either. We’re just making a sandwich. A really good sandwich, though. Maybe you’re intimidated by your Griddler. Well, don’t be. It really is easy. Make a sandwich or two and you’ll be sold on it. You’ll be searching for different breads, different dressings, and different meats to put on them. And different cheeses too!
Aldi for the Win
For the bread, meats and cheese my go-to place has become my local Aldi store. They have great breads and their deli meats are available at a great price. And they have a great variety of them too, so I never get bored with my paninis. They also have oils and vinegars and other stuff to make for some great dressings for your sandwiches.
