Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ciabatta bread
- 4 slices Plant-based turkey slices
- 2 slices Provolone or mozzarella cheese (vegetarian)
- 1 handful Baby spinach
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
- 0.25 small, thinly sliced Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (vegetarian)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a grill pan over medium heat.
Slice the ciabatta bread in half horizontally. If necessary, trim to fit the panini press.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread the mixture evenly on the inside of the ciabatta bread halves.
Layer the bottom halves of the ciabatta bread with 2 slices of plant-based turkey per sandwich, 1 slice of cheese, a handful of baby spinach, a few tomato slices, and a couple of red onion slices. Sprinkle lightly with salt and black pepper for flavor.
Place the top halves of the ciabatta bread over the filling to complete the sandwich.
Brush the outside of each sandwich lightly with olive oil to ensure a golden, crispy crust when grilled.
Place the sandwiches in the preheated panini press or on the grill pan. If using a grill pan, press down gently using a heavy skillet or press. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Carefully remove the sandwiches from the heat. Slice each panini in half diagonally and serve warm.
