Yes another panini :) This is a breakfast/brunch one though! I don't think I've ever had eggs with Swiss cheese but they do work together! No, I did not use my panini press this time though, just my skillet. Fried up the prosciutto some before adding it to the sandwich...we loved this! My thought is it would be good dipped in salsa, so maybe next time....

I'm not sure, I thought for a long time a grilled sandwich, pressed. But I think now days it can be considered a sandwich at least thrown somewhere and heated up? Not sure lol! I just read directions and go off that....

Wikipedia says:
In Italy, panino (Italian pronunciation: [paˈniːno]) is the word for a sandwich made from bread other than sliced bread, in which case Italians call it a tramezzino. Examples of bread types used are ciabatta, rosetta and baguette. The bread is cut horizontally and filled with deli ingredients such as salami, ham, cheese, mortadella, or other food, and sometimes served warm after having been pressed by a warming grill. A toasted sandwich made from sliced bread is not called "panino" but "toast" by Italians, and is usually filled with ham and a few slices of cheese, and heated in sandwich press. A popular version of panino in Central Italy is filled with porchetta, slices of pork roasted with garlic, salt, rosemary, and sage.
In the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, the term panini has been adopted to refer to a pressed and toasted sandwich; there is widespread availability and use of sandwich presses, often known as "panini presses" or "toasted sandwich makers."
Good question MrP. I had to google it out of curiosity myself.
ML2C....that does look delicious. Great picture!

That looks so good! I've never seen a sandwich where the eggs were scrambled before. Easy! Geez, I need breakfast but don't have any proscuitto, darn it!
Thank you for the panini definition, Chuckie. :)

Chuckie, thank you for all that info. I dont know if I have ever had prosciutto, porchetta, or mortadella. If I did, I didnt know it. And I certainly wouldnt know what any of it looked like, so maybe I did : O

I made this last night and I really liked it. I used my skillet and a little cast iron skillet for the press. I had some 3 for $1 soft round rolls and used one of those. Very tasty! Thanks for showing this to us, ml2c! I have a new sandwich to rely on. :)

So glad you made it! Isn't it filling? I used some rolls that were at the bakery that looked soft but didn't seem to smash down as much with my spatula....shoulda used my press ;) I still have 2 slices of prosciutto I need to use and SOON! I need to go through my box I guess...
Yummy looking pic!!!
