Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside. Grate or slice the Fontina, Mozzarella, and Provolone cheeses.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Panini

    On a slice of sourdough bread, layer Fontina, Mozzarella, and Provolone cheeses. Add tomato slices and fresh basil leaves on top. Top with another slice of sourdough.

  3. 3

    Butter the Bread

    Spread butter on the outer sides of the assembled sandwich.

  4. 4

    Grill the Panini

    Preheat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the press or skillet and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-5 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the panini from the heat, slice in half, and serve hot.
