Salami and Fresh Mozzarella Paninis
Ingredients
- Spicy Ontario salami is complemented with fresh mozzarella, basil leaves and a flavourful pesto. Serve with a fresh green salad for an easy but upscale lunch.
- 12 slices crusty Italian bread
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) olive oil
- 12 slices spicy Ontario salami or sopressata
- 6 large slices fresh mozzarella cheese (or 12 smaller slices)
- 12 basil leaves
- 2 tbsp (25 mL) pesto
Instructions
- Brush one side of each piece of bread with olive oil. Top 6 of the slices on the un-oiled side with salami slices, mozzarella and basil leaves.
- Brush pesto over the un-oiled side of the remaining bread slices and top to make 6 sandwiches (oiled sides out).
- Grill sandwiches over medium high heat in a panini press or skillet until golden and cheese is melted. Slice in half and serve immediately.
