How do you take a sandwich to the next level? Turn it into a panini! Originating in Italy, paninis were traditionally made by placing the filling onto two pieces of Italian bread and pressing the bread between a grill. Nowadays, though, the process of pressing the sandwich remains the same, but different types of bread are used. Once grilled, the bread gets crunchy and inside everything is toasty. Grab a few napkins because these 10 panini recipes may get a little messy, but they look so good.
