Proscuitto Mozzarella And Sauteed Tomato Panini Recipes

PROSCIUTTO AND MOZZARELLA PANINI

Steps:

• Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl to blend.
• Arrange the slices of bread on a flat work surface and spread the vinaigrette on one side of each slice. Divide the mozzarella equally among 4 of the bread slices. Top with the prosciutto and roasted red peppers, then place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, vinaigrette-side down, to form 4 sandwiches.
• Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Add the sandwiches and cook, pressing them occasionally with a large spatula or the bottom of a small heavy saucepan, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes per side.

TOMATO, MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Cut tomatoes into medium width slices, approximately 8 slices. Cut cheese into slices of similar sized widths as the tomato slices. A round buffalo mozzarella (di buffala) or a burratta cheese allows the slices to closely match the round slices of the tomatoes. On each salad plate, or on a large serving plate, arrange the tomato and cheese slices so they alternate, laying first a slice of tomato and then a slice of cheese. As each slice of tomato is placed on the plate, add a little salt and pepper over each slice. Sprinkle the onion, garlic and capers over the slices of cheese and tomatoes and then top with the sliced prosciutto ham. Whisk together olive oil, vinegar and mustard. Season to taste. Drizzle dressing over all the ingredients, and when ready to serve, garnish with basil. Serves 2 as an entrée or it can be divided to serve 4 as a side salad. When serving 4, use 2 slices of tomato and 1 slice of cheese or vary amounts as desired.
