Steps:
- Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and garlic in small bowl to blend; season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Layer prosciutto, mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil over bottom of bread. Drizzle lightly with dressing, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press top of bread over. Cut bread equally into 4 sandwiches.
- Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Grill sandwiches until bread is golden brown and cheese melts, pressing occasionally to compact with large spatula, about 5 minutes per side.
Tips:
- When choosing prosciutto, look for one that is thinly sliced and has a delicate, smoky flavor. Avoid prosciutto that is too thick or dry.
- To roast the red peppers, preheat your oven to 400°F. Place the peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are softened and slightly charred.
- When making the panini, use a good quality mozzarella cheese that will melt well. Fresh mozzarella is a great option, but you can also use shredded mozzarella or a mozzarella cheese blend.
- To get a crispy panini, use a panini press or a grill. If you are using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat before cooking the panini.
- Serve the panini immediately, while it is still warm and gooey.
Conclusion:
This Panini with Prosciutto, Roasted Pepper, and Mozzarella is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner.
