One of my favorite quick lunches are paninis. I still can't make myself buy one of those fancy panini makers yet. I improvise with a grill pan and another heavy skillet. This panini is light and savory. You can make it with or without prosciutto if you would like too!

Join the discussionI really loved these! But once I froze them they came out mushy or soggy when I reheated them. What am I doing wrong?
Oh no! I’m not sure. I wonder if you tried a batch that you didn’t cook before?
Hi Melanie, how did you package them? I would suggest using plastic wrap and foil if it comes out soggy. Then thaw ahead of time and you could reheat in the oven or toaster oven to be crisper. Hope that helps!
I cooked mine from frozen and found that they leaked a lot of liquid, and therefore became soggy. Next time I will thaw it, and then cook it in a convection oven, or if I microwave it again, I will set the sandwich on a raised platform so that the sandwich isn’t soaking in the liquid. It tasted great though! My recipe called for ham instead of prosciutto, and it was delicious.
Michelle – Thanks so much for the feedback! It really does help us in recipe creation and adaptation. I have the same issues with sandwiches from frozen, and I tend to like them in the convection oven as well if I have the time!
