** Ingredients:**

- Slices of bread (white, wholemeal, sourdough, ciabatta, etc.)

- fillings (cheese, meat, vegetables, spreads)

- Butter or oil for grilling

**Instruction:**

1. **Choose Toppings:** 

Choose your favorite toppings. Popular choices include cheese, deli meats, cooked chicken or turkey, vegetables like tomatoes and onions, and spreads like pesto or mustard.

2. **Assemble the sandwich:** 

Place two slices of bread. Begin layering the fillings between the slices. Place the cheese slices between the other fillings so they stick better.

3. **Preheat the pan or grill:** 

Preheat a non-stick pan, grill pan, or panini press to medium heat. If using a pan, add a small amount of butter or oil and allow to melt.

4. **Bread the Bread (Optional):** 

Butter one side of each sandwich. This will help for crispy 

5. **Cook the sandwich:** 

Place the sandwich on the hot pan, buttered side down. If you are using a panini press, place it directly on the press. If you are using a pan, you can press down the sandwich with a spatula.

6. **Flip and cook:**

 If using a pan, brush the top of the sandwich with butter. Once the underside is golden and crispy (after about 2-3 minutes), carefully flip the sandwich over and cook the other side.

7. **Press (optional):** 

If using a panini press, close the lid to press the sandwich down evenly. This helps melt the cheese and create classic grill marks.

8. **Check for doneness:** 

Cook until both sides are golden brown and the cheese (if used) has melted. The exact time will depend on your chosen fillings and heat level.

9. **Serve:** 

Remove the grilled sandwich from the pan or press down and place on a cutting board. Allow to cool slightly before cutting in half.

10. **Slice and Enjoy:**

 Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwich in half diagonally or right down the middle. Serve the grilled sandwich warm and enjoy its crispy surface and tasty fillings.

**Variants and tips:**

- **Panini:** 

Upgrade your sandwich with toppings like roasted veggies, deli and spreads. Press it in a panini press for beautiful grill marks.

- **Breakfast Sandwich:**
