Panini is a type of grilled sandwich made with breads like baguette, ciabatta and michetta. In specific, it is not made with regular sliced bread. Whenever a variety of Panini bread is available, it is better to use that. However, if you cannot lay your hands on one, you can use hot dog rolls like we have done here in cheese and caramelised onion panini.
Hot cheese and caramelised onion toast is always a welcome treat – be it on a rainy day with a bowl of soup or for kitty parties and birthday parties.

Good taste. Slightly sweet because of onions. For those who want it spicer, can add more jalapenos. Caramelizing onions takes more time about 30 minutes stirring only once in 3 minutes.

Amazing recipe but please work on your diction and pronunciation as this is a channel viewed overseas as well! It is panini (paanini) and ciabatta pronounced as (chabatta)
