Outside-In Panini Recipe

4

Ingredients

● 1 large, store-bought focaccia, round or square
● 1 OR ciabatta sandwich rolls
● 1 large ball fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
● A couple pinches dried oregano
● 4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
● 1 small bag sliced pepperoni, (optional)
● 1 cup sliced black olives
● 2-3 plum tomatoes, sliced
● Salt and freshly ground black pepper
● italian dressing, as desired

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a panini grill or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

Cut the foccacia into 4 equal sections, then split each section in half so it opens up like a sandwich. Stuff the foccacia with any combination of your favorite pizza toppings.

Place panini in sandwich press. If using a pan on the stovetop, place another heavy skillet or a brick wrapped in foil on top of the sandwiches to press them down. Press until cheese is melted and bread is crisp on both sides, about 2-3 minutes on each side
