Panini Power
The sandwich has come a very long way since sliced white.
Beautiful dense breads, flavoured with everything from rosemary and cheese to olive and figs. What you put in is entirely up to you, just make sure your bread is a good one.
2 slices black olive bread (I prefer Terra Bread)
3 tablespoons good quality pesto sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 thin slices Italian prosciutto
6 sun dried tomatoes, chopped
6-8 fresh basil leaves
2 boccancini balls sliced (fresh mozzarella)
handful of mixed olives for garnish
Mix the pesto and mayo together. Spread both sides of the
bread with the mixture. Lay the Prosciutto, tomatoes, basil leaves
and sliced mozzarella on top. Give a good grinding of pepper and a sprinkle of fleur de sel. Press down and grill in a ridged panini pan.
I love the Breville sandwich press.
Once the cheese is oozing and the bread golden, cut and serve.
