Hot Ham and Cheese Panini with Red Pepper and Spinach

294. A hot panini sandwich is always satisfying when hungry.  Occasionally I don't know what to make for dinner, a hot sandwich with a bowl of soup is a go to.

I use two slices of sour dough bread, or any type of bread.  Spread both slices with butter and a thin coating of pesto on the inside and just butter on the outside.

I then placed slices of ham and provolone cheese, a handful of fresh spinach and a red pepper slice in oil.  Season with salt and pepper.

Place the top slice of bread on top 

Set on the center of a preheated hot sandwich/panini press.

The sandwich will compress and heat through toasting the bread golden brown.

Heat the sandwich to your desired crispiness.  Make sure the cheese is melted and oozing around the edges.

"Hors D'oeuvres...a ham sandwich cut into forty pieces."
