apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Ooh i love panini's!

Grilled cheese with bacon! Beautiful pan!

Fun!

A classic grilled cheese sounds yummy.

A quesadilla!

I love grilled cheese made with a smoked cheese and these pickled red onion slices I've been making and placing on almost everything these days. Also rye bread...this would be perfect!

ooh, i've wanted this pan forever... love the color. I would make my croque monsieur with ham, cheese, and bechamel and transfer the pan to the oven to broil more cheese & sauce on top!

ooo i love it!

Happy Holidays!

prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato and basil!

A Cubano.

omg I'm hungry just looking at it!

Turkey, brie, cranberry relish, onions oh dark break. Mmm.

Ciabata with fresh mozzarella, basil, evoo, and thinly sliced proscuito along side tomato soup YUM

Definitely a sandwich on a croissant, with sliced brie, leftover roasted chicken and possibly some dijon mustard!

pear and brie with honey mustard on sourdough panini! mmmm...mouthwatering.

OOH! It matches my apartment! I love Panini!!

Beets and goat cheese on rosemary focaccia!

brie, fig spread, pears and proscuito on mini french bread loaves.

This looks fabulous! I would make a Turkey Caprese Panini (Turkey, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Basil and Mozzarella) YUM!

sun dried tomatoes, baby spinach and vegan cheese!

well, I've just perfected my recipe for ciabata at home, so this would be a perfect pan for using that, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers and whatever else looks good at the market that day. With some balsamic vinegar of course. Now I'm hungry!

Mmmm... what would I make with this happy green panini press? Mango and brie on francese. Covet worthy as well. Thanks for introducing more beautiful colors to the prizes! Oh, and Happy Holidays everyone.

I have had a set of Le Creuset since I was first married and REALLY broke. Now that I look back on what an extravigant yet practical investment i made at that time with great pride. Let this lovely pan find it way to join it's 30 year old, much loved and used brethren.

I would make my favorite sandwich in favor of the pan's French origins: a croque monsieur. Good ham, swiss or gruyere, a slathering of dijon mustard (and my little addition: mayo), covered in butter and toasted. Then, a quick transfer to the oven to melt some more cheese on top. Mmmm!

Ooh, I'd do pear, prosciutto, and pecorino cheese with arugula and balsamic vinegar on homemade focaccia bread!

My absolute favorite is: first you take two slices of rustic rosemary sourdough bread, spread some homemade kalamata olive tapenade on one side of both slices, then on one slice put a couple of slices fresh vine ripened tomato on top of the tapenade, then put a couple of basil leaves, and then top with a couple of slices of fresh buffalo mozzarella, put the other tapenade covered slice of bread on top of the mozzarella. Light coat both slices of bread with a little olive oil and "panini" it for a few minutes until golden brown, crusty and oozing tasty melted cheese. When the tomatoes aren't in season, I'll just leave them off.

This looks amazing. I love grilling sandwiches with apple, sharp cheddar and lots of black pepper. Now I'm hungry and it's not even close to lunchtime...

I'd make apple and gorgonzola for me, and I'd do gorgonzola, fig spread, and prosciutto for my husband. My local grocery has started selling Bread Alone bread, so I finally have some good bread to use!

my partner would love grilled cheese with tomato!

Avocado, goat cheese, tomato, salt/pepper/olive oil, crusty bread. No better sammie in the world!

Please? :)

Turkey,artichoke hearts and brie. grab a great loaf of bread and YUM!

Prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, tomato and basil on a crusty sourdough bread with olive oil and salt and pepper.

french sheep's milk feta cheese on challah. simple pleasures.

I would make the classic Elvis (slightly varied)...
Bananas, Peanut butter, honey... and of course butter soaked thick cut challah bread.

I would make my classic- grueyere and blue cheese with pears or apples, sliced almonds and honey. so yum!

mmm... granny smith apple with good ham and sharp-ish cheddar cheese. all gooey and cheesy... and sweet!

Eggplant breaded with Italian bread crumbs and fried with roasted red peppers and mozarella. It's sooo delicious.

Ooooooo - That's HOT. Love the Green. I would make Pumpernickel with swiss, mayo, horseradish, turkey. Keep it simple.

I will make the Cheddar and Mango Chutney grilled cheese sandwich that I read on Domino:

http://www.dominomag.com/howtos/recipes/savory/grilled_cheese

It was super delicious but I am sure would be better on this grill and press!!

I'd make my current favorite -- bacon, pear, gorgonzola, a little arugula on sourdough ...

My mouth is literally watering at the thought of this...

I am a poor graduate student. A Le Crueset pannini press would add a touch of class to my standard grilled cheese dinner.... Plus, green is such a festive color for the winter.

Cook's Illustrated email newsletter the other day had a grilled and pressed jack cheese, pickled jalapeno, bacon-turkey-avocado sammie that would hit the spot right now... too bad I'm snowed in...

The boyfriend and I recently made turkey, brie and pesto on sourdough, grilled-cheese style, but it would have been SO much better made on this! And such a great color! Yay kiwi!

A grilled cheese and banana sandwich. It's a Brazilian classic! White cheese (I think queso blanco will do in the states), banana slices, a little cinnamon, and butter. Yum!

A caprese panini on fresh ciabatta bread - summer or winter, there is nothing better than fresh mozzarella, basil and tomato all melted together.

Oh... want, want, want... I would christen this beautiful grill pan with a sandwich made of brie, apples, and bacon on slices of french bread. And then I would wake up the next morning to grill pannetone with cream cheese and cranberry chutney.

Hmm.. pane toscano, a brushing of olive oil, fresh mozzarella, basil and sun-dried tomatoes. I'm drooling just typing this!

roast chicken, cole slaw, bacon, and tomato

JUST had an amazing pressed sandwich with butternut squash! Would LOVE to replicate it at home!

I use my mother's for my version of Elvis toast: peanut butter, bananas, bacon with a hint of maple syrup. I just love it!

Chicken, avocado, black bean spread and roasted red pepper.

Mozzarella, a little bit of prosciutto, red pepper tapenade and lots of olive oil :D

nice! the kiwi is attractive, but not as attractive as the cubano sandwiches i will make in it (hold the pickles and mustard...) mmmmm, with some tostones and a steaming cafe con leche. okay, i gotta get up to washington heights right this second.

Mmmmm...
Black forest ham, fresh mozzarella, a smear of pesto, tomato and onion. All pressed between a crusty piece of baguette brushed with olive oil!

My husband LOVES making sandwiches, nothing exciting just a good organic turkey or ham and cheese.

a toasted cheese (extra sharp cheddar) sandwich with a little bit of ham

I think I would make a brie and choc. chip panini

penazul (a creamy, strong spanish blue cheese from the bedford cheese shop) with watercress and a few slices of an anjou pear on whole wheat oat pecan with golden raisins from amy's bread...yum

Yum!!! Wanna eat Panini!!

I would make a reuben Sandwich.

white bread, banana, peanut butter ham, and mustard

Yummy warm sandwiches! Gourmet grilled cheese.

Cuban sandwiches!

In my circle of friends there is what we call a "Jessie sandwich" after our friend who eats the same thing for lunch every day: Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella and arugula on crusty bread that's been drizzled with balsamic vinegar and herbs de provence. I've never had it grilled though!

Grilled cheese with fresh mozzarella, roma tomatoes and fresh basil. Yum! Thanks for the contest.

A plain old ham and cheese with thick french bread.

Proscuitto and Swiss panini sounds great!

Ohh, my favorite is a peppery, garlicky mozzarella, prosciutto, and asparagus hot sandwich... probably on ciabatta!

Now that my favorite Cuban sandwich shop has shut down, I'll need to make my own. This would help do the trick...

cubano! yum!

Ooh I have been drooling for a grilled cheese with the grill marks on it. Made of tons of cheese and thick bread. yummy

i'd throw a grilled cheese party like domino magazine showed back in 2005. it was a big hit with my book club and the gorgonzola and honey sounds delicious today as i watch the snow fall. mmm and maybe a simple grilled nutella sandwich or two!

oozing natural cheddar on thick sourdough - my husband has been asking for one of these for a few years now... so he can have it next to his (infamous) homemade tomato soup.

Oh, man could we use this seeing as how the bf eats sandwiches for both breakfast and lunch. Since I have half of a perfectly roasted pork loin sitting in the fridge, I'd make a panini with some slices of the pork, sauteed apples, a little arugula, maybe a mild swiss cheese, and mayo infused with cranberry and rosemary. Yummy!

I'M ALWAYS THINKING OF NEW WAYS TO MAKE FOOD. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT WAY TO SKAKE THINGS UP FOR MY FAMILY.

Mine would have roasted squash, black beans, and Vermont cheddar.

I love Le Creuset. Cast Iron is the bomb when it comes to sandwiches and grilling, and this company is so high quality.

Ooh, I dream of La Brea bakery bread, salumi, and some mozzarella grilled on a pretty Le Creuset skillet.

gorgonzola cheese between two slices of a fresh french baguette

Decidedly something with portobello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and sharp provolone.

Count me in!

Ham & Swiss

I'd start with just a grilled cheese to make sure I can handle the deliciousness!

Just the classic grilled cheese, served with basil tomato soup. Just right for dippin'!

me and babygirl would share a whole wheat, provalone, and turkey panini, with milk for her and pinot gris for me.
and we'd think of apartment therapy with every gooey bite.

I hope to make grilled cheese, bacon and burgers if I win this beautiful pan.

Blackforest ham with gruyere

something about smushing sandwiches makes them taste so much better!

Yum city. I'm a big fan of any melted cheese delicacy, especially with peppery greens like mizuna or arugula.

i would make a manchego, quince paste, and serrano ham panini on white country bread smeared with super-fruity extra-virgin olive oil to make it crispy.

ahh.. there's nothing like warm, melty goodness wrapped in crunchy grilled bread. just the thought of it makes me salivate...
to break this beauty in?
pear and bleu cheese with a balsamic reduction on freshly baked french bread. with a big glass of penfolds bin 407.
hold on.. wiping the drool...

Considering it's winter, I think I'd adapt a dish my mom used to make on the snowiest winter days to sandwich form. A few slices of grilled polska kielbasa, caramelized onions and apples seasoned with cinnamon, and a slightly sharp cheddar between slices of a hearty multi-grain bread (best eaten immediately, before the apples make the bread too soggy).

I would love to make a sweet panini -- thinly sliced banana, chocolate bar or Nutella -- on challah bread! I'm just drooling now thinking about it....

The choices are endless.You can just about make anything in this panini press and not only paninis.You can do garlic breads,grilled tomatoes and so much more.Paninis with the freshest ingriedients is the bomb.I would use this press for breakfast with eggs,cheese,ham.I would use it for lunch and dinner to make crunchy garlic breads

I would heat up homemade bread and grill it then put lots of butter on it..

Philly cheesesteak.YUMMMM

My favorite is goat cheese with carmalized onions and portabella mushrooms, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and pressed together between two slices of sourdough bread.

i would probably use the grill pan to grill up some vegetables and then make then into a panini with some assorted cheeses, and some nice thick bread for my wife.

She's a vegetarian, and i don't eat fruits or vegetables, so it's kinda hard to cook for the both of us, this would at least solve me cooking for her.

Crunchy peanut butter and jelly.

My special 'FIESTA BLT MELT'! A grilled BLT sandwich with added mozzerella, parmesan and swiss cheese(s) and jalepeno and banana peppers! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!

Ah, to be able to grill indoors...This would be such a wonderful addition to my kitchen!

I would love to make a chocolate panini. mmmm....

I think I'd turn my kitchen into a food lab and experiment with different ingredients to find the.best.pannini.ever. It would definitely involve cheese - goat cheese, maybe feta, maybe harvarti, perhaps a sprinkling of asiago. Then bring on the marinated red peppers, the hot peppers, the diced kalamatas or the capers. Shred the beef, or the chicken, or the portabellos. In general I'd have a pannini party and let people go nuts.

And it's in kiwi too! Cute!

I'd try to imitate that amazing buffalo chicken sandwich from Whole Foods. Fancy junk food - I love it.
