Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Ciabatta bread
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 4 slices Fontina cheese
- 1 medium, thinly sliced Tomato
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Slice the ciabatta loaf in half horizontally and then cut it into two equal sandwich-sized pieces. This will create two panini.
Brush the outer sides of each bread piece lightly with olive oil.
On the bottom half of each sandwich, layer 2 slices of prosciutto, 2 slices of fontina cheese, 3-4 tomato slices, and 4 basil leaves.
Sprinkle the tomato slices with a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance flavor.
Place the top halves of the ciabatta on the assembled sandwiches, pressing down gently to secure the layers.
Preheat a panini press or a grill pan over medium heat. If using a grill pan, place a heavy skillet on top of the sandwiches to press them down.
Cook the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the panini from the heat and let them rest for 1 minute before cutting each sandwich in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your Prosciutto, Fontina, and Tomato Grilled Panini!
