Ingredients:

• 1 Ciabatta Roll
• 2 tablespoons Cucina & Amore Sun Dried Tomato Pesto
• 2 slices Provolone Cheese
• 1 ripe Tomato, thinly sliced
• Fresh Basil leaves
• Salt, to taste
• Pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your Panini Press:

   • If you don't have a panini press, you can use a grill pan or a regular skillet.

2. Slice the Ciabatta Roll:

   • Cut the Ciabatta roll in half horizontally to create a top and bottom for your sandwich.

3. Spread the Sun Dried Tomato Pesto:

   • On the bottom half of the Ciabatta roll, spread a generous layer of Cucina & Amore Sun Dried Tomato Pesto.

4. Layer the Provolone Cheese:

   • Place the Provolone cheese slices on top of the pesto, evenly covering the bread.

5. Add Tomato Slices and Basil:

   • Layer the tomato slices on the cheese, and scatter fresh basil leaves over the tomatoes. This combination adds a burst of freshness to the panini.

6. Season with Salt and Pepper:

   • Sprinkle a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper over the tomatoes and basil. Adjust according to your taste preferences.

7. Top with the Other Half of the Ciabatta:

   • Place the other half of the Ciabatta roll on top to create a sandwich.

8. Grill the Panini:

   • Place the assembled panini onto the preheated panini press, grill pan, or skillet. Cook until the bread is golden brown, and the cheese is melted, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.

9. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the panini is golden and the cheese is oozy, carefully remove it from the press. Allow it to cool for a moment before slicing it into halves or quarters. Serve immediately and savor the delightful flavors of the Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Panini.

This panini is a perfect harmony of bold flavors and textures, making it an ideal choice for a quick and delicious meal. Enjoy the taste of the Mediterranean in every bite!
