My two cents on the lettuce - it is actually feasible to insert it after grilling, you just have to kind of "reserve" a spot for it away from the cheese. I learned that one on the Food Network one evening :-)Kathy - Panini Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305094214538121340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044023194140857505.post-57809872503413379232009-03-07T06:07:00.000-08:002009-03-07T06:07:00.000-08:00Your sandwich looks delicious!

BLT's is one of my favorites too and now I'll be wishing I had a panini press in my kitchen as well. :) Great recipe!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081917759199223628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044023194140857505.post-18879457150097752642009-03-07T04:00:00.000-08:002009-03-07T04:00:00.000-08:00Mindy-- you're right...

I find that if you can make sure that the lettuce is as centered as possible in the sandwich, it helps shield it from getting most of the heat while the bread gets crisp and the cheese melts. If only there was a way to add the lettuce after pressing the sandwich! Sometimes I will leave the lettuce out to avoid the problem. In my opinion, if it isn't crisp, I don't necessarily want it in there anyway.

Your sandwich looks delicious! I would think, though, if you used a more solid bread (like a French bread), you would have to press it longer to get a nice crust on the outside, and then that would make the lettuce soggier. I'm not sure, though...what do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044023194140857505.post-4847682290297201982009-03-06T21:00:00.000-08:002009-03-06T21:00:00.000-08:00This sounds like an awesome panini sandwich combin...This sounds like an awesome panini sandwich combination.
