- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Slice each ciabatta roll in half horizontally to create a top and bottom half.
Step 3
Drizzle the cut sides of the ciabatta with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, evenly divided between the two rolls.
Step 4
Place the ciabatta halves, cut side down, on the preheated grill pan and toast for 2-3 minutes or until golden and slightly crispy. Remove and set aside.
Step 5
Slice the fresh mozzarella into 1/4-inch thick pieces and the tomatoes into thin rounds.
Step 6
To assemble the sandwich, layer 2 slices of ham on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll.
Step 7
Top the ham with the sliced tomatoes, dividing them equally between the sandwiches. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Step 8
Add fresh basil leaves on top of the tomatoes (4 leaves per sandwich).
Step 9
Layer the mozzarella slices over the basil leaves, ensuring even coverage across the sandwich.
Step 10
Drizzle each sandwich with a small amount of balsamic glaze for added flavor.
Step 11
Place the top halves of the ciabatta rolls on the sandwiches.
Step 12
Optional: Return the assembled sandwiches to the grill pan for 1-2 minutes, pressing down gently with a spatula, to warm the ingredients and melt the mozzarella slightly.
Step 13
Serve immediately and enjoy!
