Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Ciabatta bread or baguette
- 8 slices Vegetarian ham slices
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the ciabatta bread or baguette in half lengthwise. If the loaf is too long, cut it into two sandwich-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise until well combined.
Spread the mustard-mayo mixture evenly on the inner sides of the sliced bread.
Layer each sandwich with 4 slices of vegetarian ham, 2 slices of provolone cheese, and half a cup of fresh spinach leaves.
Season the ingredients inside the sandwich with salt and black pepper.
Close the sandwiches with the top halves of the bread.
Brush the outside of each sandwich lightly with olive oil to ensure a crispy crust when grilled.
Heat a panini press or a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Place the sandwiches on the panini press or skillet. If using a skillet, press down with a heavy pan or use a weight to apply pressure.
Grill for approximately 5 minutes in a panini press or about 3-4 minutes per side in a skillet until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the panini from the heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, sliced in half diagonally.
