Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 rolls Ciabatta bread
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Pesto
- 1 handful Arugula
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and spread 1 tablespoon of pesto evenly on the cut sides of each roll.
Place 2 slices of provolone cheese on the bottom half of each roll.
Layer the roasted red peppers evenly on top of the provolone cheese.
Add a small handful of arugula over the peppers, and sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper.
Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the ciabatta rolls.
Brush the outer sides of both sandwiches lightly with olive oil.
Place the sandwiches into the preheated panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press the sandwiches down gently with a spatula or use a weighted object to flatten them.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the press or skillet, let cool slightly, and slice each panini in half before serving hot.
