Ciabatta is a healthy bread made with natural ingredients like whole wheat flour, malt, water, and salt, without any artificial additives. Its delightful chewy texture and crispy crust make it delicious on its own, but it’s also perfect for filling with fresh ingredients to create a gourmet panini sandwich. Make this delicious ciabatta panini sandwich effortlessly at home, just like in a restaurant!
Main Ingredients- 2 Ciabatta rolls
- Generous amount of Mozzarella cheese
- 10+ Cherry tomatoes
- 4 Tbsp Maple syrup
- 4 slices Sliced ham
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce
- Generous amount of Mustard sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the ciabatta rolls in half. Adjust the thickness according to your preference, as it can affect the cooking time.
Step 2
Gently spread about 2 tablespoons of maple syrup onto one of the cut sides of the bread. Applying it evenly will help the sweet flavor infuse nicely.
Step 3
On the other cut side, spread about 2 tablespoons of mustard sauce in the same manner. The combination of sweet syrup and tangy mustard will enhance the sandwich’s overall flavor profile.
Step 4
Layer 2 romaine lettuce leaves, followed by 2 slices of ham. Then, slice and arrange the cherry tomatoes generously on top.
Step 5
While regular tomatoes work well, using sweet and juicy cherry tomatoes adds a delightful burst of flavor to the sandwich. The cherry tomatoes available these days are exceptionally tasty, so be sure to include them!
Step 6
Now, generously top with mozzarella cheese. If you’re using block cheese, slice it into manageable pieces. Using natural cheese will offer a richer taste and aroma.
Step 7
While you can grill it simply with cheese and ham, adding fresh vegetables creates a more refreshing and well-balanced panini.
Step 8
Grill until the cheese is perfectly melted and gooey. When cooking in a pan, placing a heavy plate or pot on top of the sandwich will help it cook evenly, making the bread crispier and the cheese melt beautifully. Cook over medium-low heat.
Step 9
Voila! The cheese is golden and melted, and the bread is perfectly toasted to a crisp. This ciabatta panini sandwich, with its wonderful blend of ingredients and bread, is now complete. Enjoy your delicious creation!
