Ham and Pepper Jack Panini

I can't believe I grew up never trying or even knowing what a panini was. My husband has broadened my knowledge with food for sure.

I've always loved Sandwiches. I'm a bit of a sandwich snob to tell you the truth. I do not consider Subway a real sandwich although I will eat one as a last resort. I lived Back east for several years and had my taste of so many divine deli sandwiches and I've been ruined ever since.

The funny thing about panini's is that it takes a regular old sandwich and makes it spectacular. I can't really describe it but something about putting the olive oil on the bread and putting it in that panini maker transforms it. I could eat a panini every day of the week.

This recipe is simple. There are a lot of recipes out there that are super high maintenace and this one is simple yet delicious.
