Paninis History Lesson

Early Panini sandwiches were popular with the working class people in Italy. They were used mostly as an "on the go" food and were made from simpler recipes that used meats that didn't need to be refrigerated. Panini's were traditionally made with rustic Italian bread and a single filling. They typically used meat, paired with a rustic bread, and could include cheeses, vegetables, and any other additions the cook chose.

As the years passed Panini's became more popular and newer and more exciting ingredients developed based on individuals taste and improvements at making it more fun. Folks began to warm the Paninis in frying pans so that they were toasted. This was wildly popular and lead to the current trend of grilling Paninis today.
