Grilled Prosciutto and Mozzarella Panini

Grilled Prosciutto and Mozzarella Panini

A really delicious sandwich and incredibly easy to make.

Total Time: 18 min
Prep: 10 min
Grill: 8 min

Yield: 4 servings
Level: Easy

Ingredients:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried
1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 (1/2-inch thick) slices ciabatta or other rustic Italian white bread
4-ounces thinly sliced mozzarella cheese
4-ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
6-ounces jarred sun dried tomatoes

Directions:
  1. Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl to blend.
  2. Arrange the slices of bread on a flat work surface, and using a brush, spread the vinaigrette evenly over one side of each slice. Divide the mozzarella equally among the bread slices. Top 4 of the bread slices with the prosciutto and sun dried tomatoes, and then place the remaining 4 slices of bread on the top, vinaigrette-side down, to form 4 sandwiches.
  3. Press down on each sandwich so it is compacted. Lightly brush each roll on both sides with oil.
  4. Brush the cooking grates clean. Place the sandwiches on the cooking grate over direct low heat. Put a sheet pan on top of the sandwiches and then add two foil-wrapped bricks on the sheet pan. Grill, with the lid open, until the bread is toasted on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove the bricks and sheet pan, turn the sandwiches over, replace the pan and bricks, and continue to cook until the bread is toasted on both sides and the cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  5. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut them in half, or into smaller pieces if serving as an appetizer. Serve warm.
