Caprese Panini
Servings: 4 panini
Ingredients
- 1 French baguette cut into 4 portions (I used ciabatta rolls)
- ½ cup pesto purchased or homemade
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
- 2 medium-size ripe tomatoes sliced
- 8 fresh basil leaves I used baby spinach
Instructions
- Preheat the panini grill to medium-high heat.
- For each sandwich: Slice off the doomed top of a baguette portion to create a flat grilling surface.
- Split the baguette to create top and bottom halves. Spread a layer of pesto inside each baguette half. On the bottom half layer some mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and more mozarella. Close the sandwich with the top baguette half.
- Grill two panini at a time, with the lid closed, until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, 5 to 6 minutes .
