These Coffin Sandwiches (Pressed Panini) are a fun, creepy twist on a classic comfort food. Using your favorite sandwich fillings—like ham, turkey, salami, or roasted veggies—you assemble them on crusty bread with cheese, then press until warm and melty. The magic comes in shaping the sandwiches into coffins with a knife or coffin-shaped cutter, making them spooky yet delicious. They’re hearty enough for dinner, quick enough for lunch, and guaranteed to be a hit on any Halloween buffet table. Serve with tomato “blood” soup for an extra chilling effect.
