Something made in a press

The word “panini” is an Italian term that refers to a type of sandwich made with bread that is pressed between two metal plates. These plates are heated, which causes the bread to become crispy and the filling inside the sandwich to become hot and melty. A panini can contain a wide range of ingredients, such as meats, cheeses, vegetables, and spreads, and can be customized to suit different tastes and dietary preferences. To make a panini, the sandwich is typically assembled and then placed in a specialized panini press, which compresses the sandwich and cooks it evenly on both sides. The result is a delicious, warm, and satisfying sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or snack.
