How to Make Four Cheese Panini With Basil Tomatoes

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella, Parmesan, Gorgonzola, and Asiago cheeses.
  2. Spread an even layer of the cheese mixture on the bottom halves of both ciabatta rolls.
  3. Top the cheese with tomato slices, arranging them evenly.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped basil.
  5. Add two arugula leaves to each panini.
  6. Top with the other halves of the ciabatta rolls.
  7. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  8. Place the panini in the skillet. If needed, use a smaller pan to weight down the panini, ensuring even cooking and a crispy exterior.
  9. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Carefully remove the panini from the skillet. Cut each panini in half and serve immediately.
