Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ciabatta roll
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 1/4 ounces sliced fresh buffalo mozzarella
3/4 ounce shaved Parmesan cheese
1 ounce thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma
8 basil leaves

Steps:

  • Halve the roll. Drizzle cut sides with olive oil. Sprinkle with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Layer mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, prosciutto di Parma, and basil leaves on bottom half. Top with other half.
  • Heat a grill pan over medium-low to medium heat until almost smoking. Lightly brush pan with olive oil. Place panino on pan; cover with a cast-iron or other heavy skillet weighed with soup cans. Gently press straight down. Grill, undisturbed, until browned and crisp on bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. With a spatula, flip panino. Repeat process, grill until crisp and browned on other side, 3 to 4 minutes more. Serve hot.
