Steps:
- For the vinaigrette, whisk the shallots, garlic, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, stir in the anchovies (if using), capers, and olives, and set aside.
- Core the tomatoes and slice them 1/3 inch thick. Place the bottom halves of the ciabattas, cut side up, on a sheet pan. Place a layer of tomato on each bread, spoon on 2/3 of the vinaigrette, add a layer of mozzarella, and sprinkle with the basil leaves. Spoon the remaining vinaigrette on the cut sides of the ciabatta tops and place them, cut side down, on the sandwiches. Place a second sheet pan on the sandwiches and put weights on top, such as cans of tomatoes. Allow the sandwiches to sit at room temperature for an hour for the flavors to blend.
- Heat an electric panini press and toast the sandwiches for 5 to 10 minutes, until the bread is toasted and the mozzarella starts to melt. Cut each sandwich in half and serve warm.
TOMATO, MOZZARELLA & PESTO PANINI
A delicious recipe from Ina Garten's cookbook, Barefoot Contessa at Home. If you don't have a panini press, that's okay, just place in a skillet with a heavy weight on top(foil covered brick, or heavy cast iron skillet, etc.) Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat a panini grill machine or a heavy skillet.
- Core the tomatoes and slice tomatoes and mozzarella 1/4" thick.
- Place the bread slices on a cutting board(or work surface). Spread each slice evenly with pesto. Place a layer of mozzarella(about 2 slices) on half of the bread and cover with a layer of tomato. Sprinkle the tomato with a little kosher salt.
- Place the remaining slices of bread, pesto side down, on top. Spread the top and bottom of each sandwich with sotened butter.
- Grill the sandwiches in batches on the panini grill for 2-3 minutes, until the mozzarella starts to ooze out. If using a skillet, place a weight on top(I usually use another heavy cast iron skillet, or use a foil coverd brick, or other flat, heavy object. Cook 2-3 minutes, turn and cook other side 1-3 minutes.).
- Cut the sandwiches in half and serve warm. Enjoy!
- Note:.
- This is also excellent with a slice of roasted red bell pepper in it!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients to make the best pesto. Fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil are all essential.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can make pesto by hand. Just chop the basil, pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil together until they are finely minced.
- Pesto can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To make the mozzarella and tomato panini, simply spread some pesto on two slices of bread, top with mozzarella cheese and tomato slices, and grill until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- You can also add other ingredients to the panini, such as roasted red peppers, grilled zucchini, or even sliced avocado.
- Serve the panini hot with a side salad or soup.
