Note: Panini is a plural form in Italian but is commonly used as both a singular and a plural in English. You would agree, grilled sandwich taste best when crunchy.
To add to the crunch, all you need to do is put butter on the Panini press before placing the breads on it. This will ensure a crunchy grilled delight. Mozzarella, fontina, Gorgonzola and provolone cheese make up this amazing panini that will revive all of your senses. George Foremen Grill is better than panini press as it is more customizable, can easily remove excess fats from foods, and is easier to clean.
The idea is that you showcase the cheese, with minimal additional faff. Hard to believe the country that invented Kraft singles would actually want to show off cheese, but they do. Panini is literally the Italian word for sandwiches. Just one would be a panino. Cheese is expected but not vital, and there are no formal requirements for the fillings. There is somehow more value attached to a panini than a toastie.
The posher sounding name might have something to do with it, or the fact that you get a whole roll to yourself, rather than two slices of bread.
The bread is a more important feature here, as it provides the bulk of what you eat, unlike a toastie or grilled cheese, where content is king. I personally feel that the panini is best reserved for very moist fillings: steak, wet mozzarella and general Italian vegetable goodness, probably including basil.
It has better structural integrity than a slice of bread, after all. Excellent question. A toastie is very specifically sliced bread, filled and then heated and sealed between two metal surfaces, to prevent leaks. Cheese is important, but not vital, and fillings are classically based around this, preferably with a nod to s nostalgia see prawn cocktail or lobster thermidore , when toasties were the next big thing.
Classically they should be cooked in a Breville three sizes too small for the bread, and over-filled to make closing a Breville nearly impossible. Ideally there should be cheese everywhere. We use a slightly less sophisticated method, and squash between two shaped plates of steel, to still give the desired sealed effect without excessive loss of cheese and to permit the creation of ridiculous and excessive triple-decker toasties like this one. The exterior is also slathered with butter or, pro tip, with mayo, as the oils in the mayo helps to lend the perfect crispness to the outside of the bread.
A toastie is the closest thing to grilled cheese in the UK although it differs in its cooking method as well as ingredients. A toastie starts with two pieces of sliced bread and options for filling can be anything and aren't limited to just cheese. The sandwich is then placed in a toastie press which seals the outsides of the sandwich so that nothing comes oozing out - it's essentially the more clever version of grilled cheese.
The use of a toastie press - usually a Breville - is what truly stands in between grilled cheese and a toastie. The press itself is what gives a toastie its shape and seals edges together in an effort to contain the contents from spilling out unlike grilled cheese, where that is sometimes the goal. Toasties also usually contain cheese but it's not entirely necessary, as everything is pressed and melted together with or without it.
The bread is also an important factor, as it should be sturdy enough to stand up to pressing as well as soft enough that the edges can be sealed together with no chance of seepage. A panino is an Italian specialty panini is the plural, meaning more than one panino and is usually more of a leftovers-type of sandwich, in which anything is place. These are also made with a whole bread roll as opposed to sliced bread which is the major factor separating this from the other two.
Ingredients can be anything from steak to cheese and even vegetables and other meats, making this a true pressed-and-melted sandwich.
When we are talking about a toasted sandwich, what we have in mind is sliced bread that has been filled with different ingredients, then sealed on the sides and warmed between two heated plates that put pressure on it.
Sealing the sides keeps all the filling inside the bread slices. One difference between toasted sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches is that cheese is not the main ingredient of toasted sandwiches. Even though many cheese lovers choose toasted sandwiches, you can make your filling with different ingredients. Paninis are cylindrical roll-shaped or rectangular sandwiches.
They are filled with different ingredients, then warmed and toasted in a panini maker or press.
