Ingredients
- 2 rolls Ciabatta bread
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 120 grams Gruyere cheese
- 1 cup Arugula
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Slice the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and lightly brush the outer sides with olive oil to help them crisp up during grilling.
Step 2
Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard on the inner side of each roll.
Step 3
Layer 100 grams of smoked salmon onto the bottom half of each roll.
Step 4
Slice the Gruyere cheese thinly and evenly distribute 60 grams onto the smoked salmon layer for each panini.
Step 5
Top the cheese with arugula. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper evenly over the arugula for enhanced flavor.
Step 6
Close the paninis with the top halves of the ciabatta rolls.
Step 7
Heat a panini press or a grill pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the surface to prevent sticking and add extra flavor.
Step 8
Place the paninis on the press or pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes, pressing down gently until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese has melted.
Step 9
Carefully remove the paninis from the heat. Let them rest for 1-2 minutes before cutting them in half for easier serving.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy!
