Steps:
- Preheat a panini press to 400 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, lemon zest, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic. Add about 2 tablespoons EVOO. Slather it generously on the roll bottoms. Fold and quarter the sliced meat to ruffle it and arrange it on top on the cheese. Tuck in the sliced capers and onions among the folds.

Steps:
- Whisk olive oil and lemon juice in small bowl to blend; set dressing aside. Place 1 bresaola slice on work surface with 1 long side parallel to edge. Place 3 arugula leaves at 1 short end so that leaves extend past 1 long side. Top with layer of sliced fennel, then 2 cheese strips. Sprinkle with pepper. Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon dressing. Starting at filled end, roll up bresaola, enclosing filling. Arrange, seam side down, on platter. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form 18 rolls total. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover with plastic wrap; chill. Before serving, let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.)
- *Available at Italian markets and some specialty foods stores.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, ripe tomatoes, flavorful prosciutto, and creamy ricotta cheese.
- Slice the tomatoes and prosciutto thinly so that they are easy to eat. This will also help the flavors to meld together.
- Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the bread. This will help to keep the sandwich moist and prevent it from becoming dry.
- Season the sandwich with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as dried oregano or basil, if desired.
- Grill the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve the sandwich immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include a green salad, roasted potatoes, or chips.
Conclusion:
The bresaola and ricotta panini is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. The combination of salty bresaola, creamy ricotta cheese, and fresh tomatoes is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a simple but satisfying meal, give this sandwich a try!
