No panini press needed: For the easiest Italian lunch, crusty bread, good cheese, and a couple of cans will do just fine.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained, reserving 1 tablespoon oil

Romaine lettuce leaves
6 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together mustard and oil until thick; spread on bread. Layer bottom half of bread with some of the lettuce, then cheese, tomatoes, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Top with remaining lettuce and bread.
  • Wrap sandwich tightly in plastic; place on a baking sheet. Top with another sheet, and weight down with canned goods or a heavy skillet. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight to meld flavors. Cut in half, and serve.

Overall, I thought this sandwich was good, but not great. I would probably make it again, but I would make some changes to the recipe.

This sandwich is delicious, but it's a bit too expensive to make on a regular basis.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sandwich didn't turn out as good as the picture. The mozzarella was too thick and the tomatoes were too watery.

This sandwich is a bit too simple for my taste. I would have liked to see some more ingredients, like pesto or roasted red peppers.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I loved this sandwich. The mozzarella and basil really balanced out the flavor of the tomatoes.

This sandwich is so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover mozzarella and tomatoes.

I love the combination of mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. It's a classic flavor combination that never gets old.
