Ingredients
- 4 slices ciabatta bread
- 1 cup roasted red bell peppers
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts
- 4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
- 4 tablespoons basil pesto
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 handful arugula
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your panini press or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Spread 1 tablespoon of basil pesto evenly on one side of each slice of ciabatta bread.
Step 3
Layer 2 slices of fresh mozzarella cheese on the non-pesto side of 2 slices of bread.
Step 4
Top the mozzarella with 1/2 cup of roasted red bell peppers and 1/2 cup of marinated artichoke hearts on each slice.
Step 5
Season the vegetables lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Add a small handful of arugula on top of the vegetables, followed by the other slices of bread, pesto side down, to create a sandwich.
Step 7
Brush the outer sides of each sandwich with olive oil to ensure crisp and golden grilling.
Step 8
Place the sandwiches in the panini press or on the grill pan. If using a grill pan, press down gently with a spatula and flip the sandwich after 3-4 minutes.
Step 9
Cook until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the mozzarella is melted, about 6-7 minutes total.
Step 10
Remove the panini from the heat and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing in half and serving.
