Although Italy is in another country and we may not be able to go there just to eat their famous mouth-watering panin, we can still enjoy them by making them ourselves. Panini cooking will just require you to have a panini press or if you don't have one then you can just use an ordinary burner, skillet, and an object hard enough to press those sandwiches to cook them properly. You can use a spatula and press the panini yourself for 10 seconds or you can try using a brick to press the sandwich even harder.
There are different ways to make different types of panini, just like there are different ways of cooking them. The reason panini are becoming so famous in the Canada and the US is because of its unique blend of taste. It is most likely because all the ingredients are unifying while in the process of grilling and thus creating a sandwich that is far different from the ordinary ones. Not to mention that the bread itself has a crisp taste because of the process of grilling. So the grilling itself, whether in a press or a grilling pan, is the main component of great panini.

When cooking panini, most Italians just use the common ingredients of mozzarella, fresh basil, roasted peppers, tomatoes and prosciutto. They put all the ingredients between two slices of Italian bread. The bread is then brushed, on each side with olive oil before grilling. Cooking usually takes between 3 to 5 minutes or until the bread is crisp enough and the cheese is well melted. Then they finally take it out of the grill, cut it in half and eat it.
The process of making panini is so easy that preparation may take you 3 minutes and grilling 3 to 5 minutes. This is an easy way to make a great quick meal or hors d'oeuvres and once you taste delicious panini, you'll want them all the time.
