Notes / Suggestions
Make this delicious Italian Panini with Prosciutto recipe without a panini maker by using a grill pan or skillet. Also, using a grill press or smaller skillet to press down on the panini while it’s grilling will ensure the bread turns golden brown and the mozzarella cheese melts properly. Be sure to cook both sides evenly.
