Ingredients
- 2 rolls Ciabatta bread
- 4 tablespoons Basil pesto
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice the ciabatta rolls horizontally to create two sandwich bases. Set aside.
Step 2
Spread 1 tablespoon of basil pesto evenly on the inside of each half of the bread.
Step 3
Layer 2 slices of provolone cheese on the bottom half of each sandwich.
Step 4
Place an even layer of sliced tomato (approximately 2–3 slices per sandwich) on top of the cheese.
Step 5
Add a handful of baby spinach to each sandwich. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Cover each sandwich with the top half of the ciabatta roll, pesto side down.
Step 7
Brush the outside of each sandwich lightly with olive oil to ensure a golden, crispy surface when grilled.
Step 8
Preheat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, place a heavy pan or object on top of the sandwich to press it down while cooking.
Step 9
Grill the panini in the press or skillet for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 10
Remove the panini from the press, let cool for 1-2 minutes, and slice in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
