Zubereitung von Preposterously Paradisiacal Panini
- Preheat your panini grill or skillet over medium heat.
- Slice a 1/2-inch thick piece from the top of a ciabatta loaf to create a flat surface.
- Cut the loaf into four equal sections.
- Cut each section in half lengthwise, yielding eight slices of bread.
- Lightly brush both sides of each bread slice with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of pesto on the inside of four bread slices.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (optional) on the inside of the remaining four slices.
- Layer the following on top of each pesto-spread slice: 5-7 arugula leaves, 1 slice (approximately 1 ounce) of provolone cheese, 2-3 thin slices of tomato (optional), and 3 slices of black forest ham (approximately 2 ounces).
- Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise-side down.
- If using a panini press, close and cook for 2-4 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey. If using a skillet, cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula or foil-wrapped brick to ensure even cooking and browning.
