Directions

For the Panini

Heat panini press or skillet over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes.
Brush outer side of each bread slice with olive oil. Evenly divide spinach, mozzarella, prosciutto and tomato on 2 bread slices, oil-side-down. Top with remaining bread slices, oil-side-up.
Working in batches, place sandwiches on panini press or in skillet. Cook 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bread is golden-brown. If using a skillet, lightly press sandwich with a spatula and cook until cheese is melted and bread is golden-brown. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.

For the Bite Assembly

Place salami, Parmigiano, olives and grapes together in bento boxes. Arrange panini triangles, pretzels, apples, crackers and almonds decoratively in bento boxes. Serve at room temperature.
