Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large loaf Italian bread (8 ounces)
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
4 ounces shaved deli ham
2 ounces baby spinach (2 cups, loosely packed)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Split bread horizontally. Layer one side with mozzarella, ham, and spinach, beginning and ending with mozzarella, seasoning with salt and pepper as you go. Close sandwich. (Mozzarella being in direct contact with bread on both sides will hold sandwich together as cheese melts.)
  • Brush a large baking sheet with some of the oil. Place sandwich on sheet; brush top with remaining oil. Place another baking sheet on top (cover bottom of sheet with aluminum foil, if necessary), and press down very firmly.
  • Bake panini, pressing down top baking sheet once or twice during baking, until cheese has melted and sandwich is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into 4 pieces, and serve with Cherry Tomato Salad.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the taste of your panini.
  • Make sure your mozzarella cheese is well-drained. This will prevent the panini from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overload the panini with too many ingredients. This will make it difficult to close and cook evenly.
  • Cook the panini over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will take about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve the panini immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Marinara sauce, pesto, or balsamic vinegar are all great options.

Conclusion:

The mozzarella, ham, and basil panini is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for lunch or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this panini a try.
