I don't have one of these, but I just came across some great ideas in a cookbook for a panini press. Well, I'm sure ours would work just as well. How about grilled doughnuts--the book says grilling sugar cake doughnuts develops an "irresistably crispy, caramelized crust." It also mentions chocolate croissants and angel food cake. Oh, and who could resist a grilled Nutella-filled brioche sandwich? This comes from Food and Wine, 2006 recipes.
 
I'm coming to your house if you're making the samples!I'll even bring the wine!
 
Your post made me go and check if I have the same pannini cookbook...then I saw you said it was from Food and Wine, 2006 Recipes. Darn. That grilled Nutella-filled brioche sandwich sounds good!

There weren't any recipes listed. I guess they just leave it to you to do what you want. So you all want to come over? Who's staying at the Sheraton for Wave 3? Do you think we could rig something up? Ha ha.
