Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf (small, approximately 6-8 inches) Ciabatta bread
- 1 large Egg
- 2 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 pieces (jarred or fresh) Roasted red peppers
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 2 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
1. Slice the ciabatta loaf in half horizontally to create a top and bottom slice.
2. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Crack the egg into the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side, then gently flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until desired doneness is achieved. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Spread butter on the outer sides of both ciabatta slices (the outer side of the top slice and the bottom slice of the loaf).
5. On the inner side of the bottom slice, layer one slice of provolone cheese, followed by the roasted red peppers, cooked egg, fresh basil leaves, and the second slice of provolone cheese.
6. Place the top ciabatta slice over the layered ingredients, buttered side facing out.
7. Heat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
8. Place the sandwich on the panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press the sandwich down with a heavy object (like another smaller skillet or a sandwich press). Cook for 3-5 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Flip the sandwich if using a skillet, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
10. Remove the panini from the heat, slice in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
