Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Gluten-free Panini bread
- 100 grams Mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium Tomato
- 4 Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preheating your panini press or grilling pan over medium heat.
Slice the gluten-free panini bread horizontally to create two even slices if not pre-sliced.
Cut the mozzarella cheese into thin slices, about 1/4-inch thick.
Slice the tomato into thin rings, also about 1/4-inch thick.
On one slice of the panini bread, layer the mozzarella cheese evenly.
Place the tomato slices evenly over the mozzarella cheese.
Add fresh basil leaves on top of the tomato slices.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the basil leaves for added flavor.
Finish by placing the other slice of gluten-free panini bread on top to make a sandwich.
Brush the outer sides of the panini bread lightly with olive oil to ensure a crispy crust.
Place the sandwich carefully onto the preheated panini press or grilling pan.
Cook for about 3 minutes per side (or 3 minutes if using a panini press) until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the panini from the press or pan and let it cool for a minute, then slice in half if desired and serve warm.
