Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole grain ciabatta rolls
- 100 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your panini press or a grill pan on medium-high heat.
Slice each ciabatta roll in half horizontally and lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.
Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds and sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.
Place the bottom half of each roll on a clean surface. Layer with half of the low-fat mozzarella cheese, then add a layer of tomato slices, followed by fresh basil leaves, the remaining cheese, and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Top with the other half of the ciabatta roll, pressing down gently to secure.
Place the assembled panini in the preheated panini press or grill pan. If using a grill pan, press down with a weight, such as a heavy skillet.
Grill the panini for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is crisp and golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the panini from the press or grill pan and let it sit for a minute before slicing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy and flavorful low-fat cheese and tomato panini.
