  • extra-virgin olive oil-3 tablespoons
  • garlic-1 clove

  • kosher salt-1/2 teaspoon

1
Prep the ingredients
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife

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.

15 ounces cannellini beans
1 Count garlic
4 Count ciabatta rolls
12 Count tomato
8 ounces mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup basil
2
Make the white bean mixture
Fork
Medium mixing bowl

Mash beans with two-thirds of the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper until creamy but still chunky.

15 ounces cannellini beans
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 Count garlic
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
3
Preheat the panini press
Panini press

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.

4
Assemble the sandwiches

Divide bean spread, tomato, mozzarella and basil evenly among the ciabatta bottoms, then close with the tops.

4 Count ciabatta rolls
12 Count tomato
8 ounces mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup basil
5
Brush with olive oil
Pastry brush

Brush the sandwich outsides with the remaining oil for a crisp golden crust.

1 tablespoon olive oil
6
Press the panini
Panini press

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.
