Cook this recipe
- canned cannellini beans-15 oz
- fresh basil-1/2 cup
- extra-virgin olive oil-3 tablespoons
- garlic-1 clove
- balsamic vinegar-1 tablespoon
- kosher salt-1/2 teaspoon
- ciabatta rolls-4 count
- tomato-12 slices
- fresh mozzarella cheese-8 ounces
- black pepper-1/4 teaspoon
Prep the ingredients: rinse and drain the cannellini beans, mince the garlic, split the ciabatta rolls, slice the tomato and mozzarella, and chop the basil.
Keep the knife blade angled away from your fingers while slicing and chopping.
Mash beans with two-thirds of the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper until creamy but still chunky.
Preheat the panini press to medium-high according to its instructions. Cook only as many sandwiches as fit comfortably per batch; more batches take longer.
Avoid touching the heated plates of the panini press.
Divide bean spread, tomato, mozzarella and basil evenly among the ciabatta bottoms, then close with the tops.
Brush the sandwich outsides with the remaining oil for a crisp golden crust.
Press for 4–6 minutes per batch until the bread is crisp and golden and cheese melted. Let the press recover heat between batches and each sandwich rest for 1 minute before slicing; serve as ready.
Use caution when handling the hot panini press and avoid touching the heated plates.
Let the panini rest for 1 minute before slicing or eating so the hot cheese does not burn your mouth.
