  3. Place sandwiches on the bottom grill plate and close, applying medium pressure to the handle for 20 seconds . Grill panini for 4 to 6 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sandwiches are evenly grilled and golden.
  4. Allow panini to rest for about 2 minutes. Then slice each sandwich in half and serve.
