Easy Italian Grilled Sandwiches image

Provided by Shira Bocar

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes     Sandwich Recipes

Time 1h55m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 loaf ciabatta (1 pound)
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
1/2 cup olive tapenade
4 ounces sliced provolone
8 ounces low-moisture mozzarella (such as Polly-O), thinly sliced
1 cup thinly sliced roasted red peppers
1 jar (12 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
4 ounces thinly sliced spicy salami
2 cups baby arugula

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Split bread horizontally; scoop out soft interior and reserve for croutons or breadcrumbs (see cook's note). Brush inside of each bread half with oil. Bake, cut-side up, until toasted, about 7 minutes. Let cool completely. Spread tapenade on bottom half of bread; add provolone and mozzarella. Top with peppers, artichokes, and salami. Scatter top with arugula. Top with other bread half; press to sandwich.
  • Wrap tightly with foil. Place a heavy skillet on top; weigh down with canned goods. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
  • Preheat a grill to medium, or oven to 375°F. Transfer wrapped sandwich to grill and cover (or transfer to oven); cook, flipping once, until cheese begins to melt and bread is crisp, about 20 minutes. Remove foil, slice, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and flavorful pesto.
  • Slice the bread and tomatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Spread the pesto evenly over the bread so that each bite has a delicious flavor.
  • Layer the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese evenly over the pesto. This will help to ensure that the cheese melts evenly.
  • Bake the sandwiches in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
  • Serve the sandwiches warm with your favorite sides, such as salad, chips, or fruit.
