Ingredients

1 ciabatta roll or other crusty Italian bread, split
3-4 slices prosciutto
2 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
2-3 fresh basil leaves
1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat a panini press or a heavy skillet over medium heat.
Drizzle the cut sides of the bread with olive oil.
Layer the prosciutto, mozzarella, and basil on the bottom half of the bread. Season with salt and pepper.
Close the sandwich with the top half.
Place the panino in the press or skillet. If using a skillet, place another heavy pan on top to press down.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Slice in half and serve immediately.

Tips

For extra flavor, add a few sun-dried tomatoes or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Serve with a side of arugula salad or pickled vegetables.
If you don't have a panini press, use a cast-iron skillet and press with a foil-wrapped brick.
