How to Make Tuna Artichoke Panini

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine the drained tuna, chopped artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, lemon zest, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  2. Set the tuna mixture aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced roasted garlic, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spread the garlic mayonnaise evenly on all four slices of bread.
  5. On two slices of bread, layer provolone cheese, then top with the tuna-artichoke mixture, followed by tomato slices, and finally mozzarella cheese.
  6. Top with the remaining slices of bread to create two panini.
  7. Preheat your panini press, grill pan, or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  8. Lightly brush the top of each panini with olive oil.
  9. Place the paninis on the hot surface, pressing down gently. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.
  10. Carefully remove the paninis from the heat. Let them rest for a minute or two before slicing in half diagonally and serving immediately.
