Sopressata Panini with Fresh Mozzarella & Pesto

Inspired by the Hot Sopressata Sandwich at Salumi in Seattle, WA 

Ingredients: 

4 ciabatta rolls or 1 ciabatta loaf, cut into 4 pieces

3/4 cup pesto

8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced

12 slices sopressata or salami

Directions: 

Preheat the panini grill to medium-high heat. 

Split the ciabatta lengthwise to create top and bottom halves. 

For each sandwich: Spread 1-2 tablespoons of pesto inside each bread half. On the bottom half layer several slices of cheese and several slices of sopressata. Close the sandwich with the top half. 

Grill 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and the bread is toasted. Cut in half, serve immediately and enjoy.
