Tomato, Mozzarella & Pesto Panini image

A delicious recipe from Ina Garten's cookbook, Barefoot Contessa at Home. If you don't have a panini press, that's okay, just place in a skillet with a heavy weight on top(foil covered brick, or heavy cast iron skillet, etc.) Enjoy!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 18m

Yield 6 sandwiches, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large beefsteak tomatoes (or other large tomatoes)
1 (16 ounce) ball fresh mozzarella cheese
12 slices whole wheat bread, sliced 1/2-inch thick (or whole grain or white)
1 cup pesto sauce (homemade or storebought)
kosher salt (optional)
butter, unsalted, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat a panini grill machine or a heavy skillet.
  • Core the tomatoes and slice tomatoes and mozzarella 1/4" thick.
  • Place the bread slices on a cutting board(or work surface). Spread each slice evenly with pesto. Place a layer of mozzarella(about 2 slices) on half of the bread and cover with a layer of tomato. Sprinkle the tomato with a little kosher salt.
  • Place the remaining slices of bread, pesto side down, on top. Spread the top and bottom of each sandwich with sotened butter.
  • Grill the sandwiches in batches on the panini grill for 2-3 minutes, until the mozzarella starts to ooze out. If using a skillet, place a weight on top(I usually use another heavy cast iron skillet, or use a foil coverd brick, or other flat, heavy object. Cook 2-3 minutes, turn and cook other side 1-3 minutes.).
  • Cut the sandwiches in half and serve warm. Enjoy!
  • Note:.
  • This is also excellent with a slice of roasted red bell pepper in it!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh basil pesto. You can make your own or purchase it from a store.
  • If you don't have any pesto, you can use a simple vinaigrette dressing instead.
  • To make the sandwiches more filling, add a slice of ham, turkey, or cheese.
  • You can also add other vegetables to the sandwiches, such as sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
  • If you're making the sandwiches ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Mozzarella and basil pesto tramezzino are a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or a light dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
