Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 loaves Ciabatta bread (large, cut into sandwich-sized portions)
- 300 grams Cooked porchetta (thinly sliced)
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 1 cup Baby arugula (fresh)
- 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice (fresh)
- 1 clove Garlic (grated or finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Prepare the herbed garlic aioli: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon juice, grated garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Preheat a panini press or a stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
Slice the ciabatta bread lengthwise and lightly brush the inner sides with olive oil.
Spread the herbed garlic aioli evenly over the inner sides of the ciabatta bread slices.
Layer thinly sliced porchetta on the bottom half of each sandwich, followed by two slices of provolone cheese and a generous handful of baby arugula.
Top with the other half of the ciabatta bread, aioli-side down, to form a sandwich.
Place the assembled sandwiches into the panini press or grill pan. If using a grill pan, press down on the sandwich with a heavy skillet for even toasting.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is crisp and golden, and the provolone cheese is melted.
Remove from heat, let rest for a minute, then slice each panini in half if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
