Panini Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the cured meats, cheese, and bread. Slice the provolone cheese if not pre-sliced.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Panini

    Drizzle olive oil on one side of each slice of ciabatta bread. On the un-oiled side, layer the sweet coppa, hot coppa, soppressata, prosciutto, and provolone cheese. Add fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar to taste.

  3. 3

    Grill the Panini

    Close the sandwich and place it on a preheated grill or panini press. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the panini from the grill, slice in half, and serve hot with extra balsamic vinegar on the side if desired.
