Featuring layers of savory prosciutto, smoky roasted red peppers, creamy fresh mozzarella, and aromatic basil, this panini is a flavor-packed delight. The ciabatta bread, brushed with olive oil and grilled to golden perfection, delivers a satisfying crunch that complements the gooey melted cheese. A drizzle of balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness and tang, making every bite a gourmet experience. Ready in just 15 minutes, this Italian-inspired panini is perfect for an easy lunch, quick dinner, or even a casual gathering. Serve warm and enjoy the irresistible combination of textures and flavors that make this sandwich a standout favorite.
Slice the ciabatta loaf into four equal sections, then slice each section horizontally to create sandwich halves.
Brush the cut sides of each piece of bread lightly with olive oil.
On the bottom half of each sandwich, layer 2 slices of prosciutto, a quarter of the roasted red peppers, 2 ounces of fresh mozzarella slices, and 2 basil leaves.
Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of balsamic glaze over the filling of each sandwich and season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Place the top half of the bread on each sandwich to assemble.
Preheat a panini press or grill pan over medium heat. If using a grill pan, weigh down the sandwiches with another heavy pan or a foil-wrapped brick during cooking.
Cook each panini for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden and crispy and the mozzarella is melted.
Remove from the heat and let rest for 1 minute before slicing each panini in half. Serve warm.
