- 1 large Tomato
- 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the ciabatta loaves in half horizontally to create sandwich-style bread pieces.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside.
Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil evenly across the cut sides of the ciabatta loaves.
On the bottom half of each loaf, layer 4 slices of prosciutto, 4 slices of fresh mozzarella, 2 to 3 slices of tomato, and 4 fresh basil leaves.
Lightly sprinkle the tomato slices with salt and black pepper for added flavor.
Place the top half of the ciabatta loaves over the fillings to form a sandwich.
Preheat a panini press or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
Brush the outside of each sandwich with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
