Ham and Cheese Panini

Ingredients

2 slices bread

2 slices ham

2 slices cheese

4 sprigs basil

Paprika

Salt

Pepper

Lay a layer of bread, then a layer of ham, then 2 basil leaves, sprinkle with paprika, top with cheese, the remaining basil, and a slice of bread. Add salt and pepper to taste, but the flavors of the cheese and ham shouldn't be necessary.

If you have a sandwich maker or waffle iron, place the panini in it and press firmly until golden brown. Otherwise, place the panini in a hot, dry frying pan and, pressing lightly with a spatula, fry until crisp on both sides.

Enjoy!
