How to Make Artichoke And Prosciutto Panini

  1. Brush both cut sides of the ciabatta roll (about 6 inches long) with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Layer 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto evenly over one half of the ciabatta.
  3. Top the prosciutto with 1/4 cup of marinated artichoke hearts (drained), followed by 1/4 cup of arugula.
  4. Carefully close the panini.
  5. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add the panini to the hot skillet.
  6. Weight the panini down with a smaller, heavy pan or a flat weight (such as a brick wrapped in foil).
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the filling is heated through.
  8. Carefully remove the panini from the skillet. Cut in half and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
