Grilled Prosciutto, Soppressata, and Mozzarella Panini
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 slices ciabatta bread, or other rustic Italian white bread, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces thinly sliced mozzarella
- 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- 2 ounces thinly sliced soppressata
- Whisk 1/4 cup olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to blend.
- Arrange the slices of bread on a flat work surface and, using a brush, divide the vinaigrette equally among 1 side of each slice.
- Divide the mozzarella equally among the bread slices.
- Top 4 of the slices of bread equally with the prosciutto and soppressata and then place the remaining 4 slices on top.
- Brush the outsides of each sandwich with some of the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Add the sandwiches and cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, pressing occasionally to compact with a large spatula or the bottom of a heavy small saucepan, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
