Preparation
Step 1
For all its simplicity, this panini really turned into something yummy! And if you don’t have a panini maker, don’t fret! Just grill the sandwich in the skillet with a second (heavy) skillet on top of it to press it together. It’ll make you feel inventive and nifty.
Spread one slice of crusty bread with spicy mustard. I would actually lay it on thicker than this! When you make panini, you really want to keep in mind that whatever “spread” you put on the bread actually turns into a “sauce” when it’s grilled and heated.
On the other slice of bread, spread a generous layer of ranch dressing. On my Food Network show this Saturday morning, I make ranch dressing from scratch. For this sandwich, I grabbed a crusty bottle of old storebought stuff from the door of the fridge. And it was totally, absolutely fine.
