Want to upgrade your sandwiches? Then experiment with these delicious panini recipes. Usually grilled or toasted, paninis were first mentioned in a 16th-century Italian cookbook. But it was in the 1970s and '80s that they really became a culinary trend. From the traditional mozzarella and cheese combo to crispy chicken, paninis today have a grand selection of fillings. And the fun part is that you can get as creative as you want, as long as you have some Italian or French bread to serve it in.
