Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup shredded fresh mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded Fontina cheese (4 ounces)
3 tablespoons asiago cheese (freshly grated) or 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese (3 ounces)
8 slices tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
4 ciabatta rolls, halved lengthwise (spread outsides with butter) or 8 slices firm white bread (spread outsides with butter)
8 arugula leaves (optional, but recommended)

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine cheeses. Spread the cheese on the bottoms of the ciabatta rolls. Top with tomato slices and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with basil and add 2 arugula leaves and close the panini.
Set a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over moderately high heat. Arrange the panini in skillet and weight them down with a smaller pan (can fill with water if you need more weight). Cook the panini until the outside is crisp and the cheese is melted, 3 minutes per side.
Cut panini in half and serve at once.
