- Rub the inside of the paninis with one half of the garlic clove.
- Add a dash of olive oil.
- Place the tomato slices on the lower half of each panini. Season with salt and pepper.
- Garnish with basil, green onion, ham, cheese and grilled pepper.

- Toast for about 5 minutes, pressing lightly at the beginning of the cooking.
- When the bread is nicely browned and the cheese is melted, serve with a salad.
Tip
You don't have a panini grill? Not a problem! Use a ridged cast-iron grill pan and on the sandwich, place a pie dish weighted by something heavy (a large can, for example). Flip halfway through the cooking.
