Notes

Top Tips
  • Use high-quality ingredients! This panino is simple and only uses a handful of ingredients, which means each ingredient gets to shine. Source the best ingredients from your local Italian deli or specialty grocery store.
  • Let the meat and cheese temper before you add them to the toasted bread.
  • If the bread is a little stale, quickly run it under the faucet to lightly wet the bread, then toast it in the oven. This will freshen up the bread for the sandwich.
Storage
  • If you have any leftover sandwich, refrigerate it in an air-tight container or zip loc bag for up to 2 days. Just keep in mind that the bread may get soggy so you may want to toast some new bread when you are ready to enjoy your sandwich.
