PROSCIUTTO ROASTED RED PEPPER AND MOZZARELLA PANINI



Prosciutto Roasted Red Pepper and Mozzarella Panini image

Got this off of 30 Minute Meals. This is my new favorite sandwich. I got a Panini maker a couple of months ago and this is made quite frequently on it!

Provided by pines506

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 11m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 lb thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma
8 slices chewy crust Italian bread, from a large loaf (I use Turano brand)
1 (16 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained well
1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan or large nonstick griddle over medium to medium high heat.
  • Build your sandwiches: place 2 or 3 slices of prosciutto on 1 piece of bread.
  • Top with an even layer of roasted red pepper and an even layer of mozzarella.
  • Top with another slice of bread.
  • Drizzle the tops of the assembled sandwiches with olive oil.
  • Place the olive oil coated bread face down on the grill or griddle and drizzle the opposite side with addition olive oil.
  • Weight the sandwiches down with a tin foil covered brick or a heavy skillet filled with a sack of flour (If using a panini maker-- just close the lid-- no need to flip).
  • Press the sandwiches for 2 or 3 minutes on each side, then serve immediately.

Tips

  • To make the perfect panini, start with good-quality bread. Look for a sturdy bread that will hold up well to being grilled. Sourdough, ciabatta, and French bread are all good choices.
  • Don't skimp on the fillings. Use generous amounts of cheese, meat, and vegetables. This will ensure that your panini is flavorful and satisfying.
  • If you're using a panini press, preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will help to ensure that your panini is cooked evenly.
  • Butter the outside of the bread before grilling. This will help to create a golden brown crust.
  • Grill the panini for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. If you're using a toaster oven, cook the panini for 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Let the panini cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from oozing out.

Conclusion

Paninis are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give paninis a try. You won't be disappointed!
