Easy Panini Recipe - Grilled Italian Sandwich with Mozzarella

Step 1

Heat up your panini press over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Meanwhile, build the sandwich. Smear pesto onto one slice of bread and top with mozzarella. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and some fresh cracked pepper.

Step 3

Add prosciutto, in clumps, and basil. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the inside of the top piece of bread.

Step 4

Close up the sandwich and drizzle the outside with more olive oil and place on the panini press.

Step 5

Cook for about 5 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melty. No need to flip since the heat is coming from both sides.

Step 6

Remove from the heat and let the sandwich rest before serving.
