Griddle Me This, Griddler! Hit me up with your panini & griddler recipes!

[unsinkable]

I got a Griddler for my birthday! 

What is your favorite panini?

Do you cook chicken breasts on a Griddler? Any advice? Can I marinade the chicken first or will the marinade burn?

I like bacon-dill pickle grilled cheese. Cheddar and mozzarella cheese, applewood smoked bacon cooked until crisp, thin sliced hamburger dill pickles (lay them on a paper towel for a minute or two to drain the extra juice). Yummy! Butter the outside of the bread before cooking. It is not good for you, but it tastes good.

Fun! And happy birthday! 🙂

My favorite panini is to take a ciabatta roll, split open and smear some of this on both sides https://boarshead.com/products/condiments/16132-boar-s-head-bold-fiery-chipotle-gourmaise

then layer cheddar, thinly sliced ham, cheddar again. 

Sometimes I heat the ham in the microwave or a dry skillet for a bit to dry it out. I don’t like juicy meat. 

Re: chicken. I find that the marinade does char a bit. I don’t mind it but my kids don’t like ‘black’ on theirs 😂 so I mostly just cook paninis on mine. 

ETA: I also like to put a slice of cheese (American for this one if I’m really being honest😆) between two corn tortillas and griddle it. You can lightly butter them first if you want. It makes the corn tortillas so crispy and yummy!
