  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Arrange the sandwich and place it on the heated skillet. Press with a spatula or even weigh it down with a pot filled with water.
  • Cook it for 3-4 minutes until the cheese starts to melt and the muffin cooks through. Flip, pressing again and cooking for at least 2 more minutes.
  • Remove from heat and enjoy!

Notes

  • This is my solution for not having a panini press AND being too lazy to pull out the George Foreman grill.
