I love the sandwich I get at Panera Bread Company, so I tried to make it at home, and it comes pretty close. It is simply delicious.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This simple tomato mozzarella panini is quite tasty. The sandwich tastes like cheesy pizza on a buttery, crusty bread. Serve with a side salad or a bowl of soup for a delicious lunch. While delicious as prepared, shredded chicken could be added to make it more of a complete meal. Don't have a panini griddle? Use a heavy skillet to weigh the sandwich down while grilling.

Ingredients For tomato mozzarella panini

  • ciabatta bread
  • 2 slice
    mozzarella cheese
  • 3 Tbsp
    sun-dried tomatoes, jarred in oil
  • 2 tsp
    butter or olive oil

How To Make tomato mozzarella panini

  • Slice a piece of ciabatta bread in half.
    1
    Take the ciabatta bread and slice it into sandwich-sized pieces. Slice in half.
  • Rough chop the sun-dried tomatoes.
    2
    Rough chop sun-dried tomatoes. Make sure the oil is not oozing from them, or the sandwich will be oily.
  • Add mozzarella cheese and sun-dried tomatoes to the bread.
    3
    Add mozzarella cheese slices to the sandwich. Top with the sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Add butter or oil to a panini press.
    4
    Put just a little oil or butter in the panini maker or skillet. Just enough so the sandwich will not burn.
  • Grill sandwich until cheese is melted.
    5
    Heat until the cheese melts, about 1 - 2 minutes.
