Ingredients
- 4 slices of Crusty country-style bread
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons garlic-and-herb cheese spread such as Boursin
- 2 ounces thinly sliced mozzarella
- 2 ounces thinly sliced provolone
- 4 thin slices of ripe tomato
- 6 large fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the sandwich grill or skillet.
- Place the bread slices on a work surface and brush 1 side of each with the olive oil. Turn and spread the un-oiled sides with the herbed cheese, dividing it evenly.
- On each of 2 of the slices, layer one-fourth of the mozzarella, then one-fourth of the provolone, 2 tomato slices, and 3 basil leaves. Divide the remaining mozzarella and provolone on top.
- Place the remaining 2 bread slices on top, herbed-cheese sides down, and press to pack gently.
- Place the panini on the grill, close the top plate, and cook until the bread is golden and toasted and the cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes. If cooking in a skillet, turn halfway through. Cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal and serve right away.
