    Italy - Prosciutto Fresh Mozzarella Tomato & Arugula Panini

    Italian cuisine is popular worldwide, at least in the parts of the world I have been to. Some of the popular foods from this cuisine are pizza, pastas, gelato and tiramisu to name a few. I had a difficult time deciding on what to cook and I also considered other countries starting with 'I'. But I came back to Italy and made some Panini.

    Panini is an Italian sandwich made with ciabatta, rosetta or a baguette. As I was looking for Italian recipes, I found a recipe for Panini that used fresh mozzarella and prosciutto to make the sandwich / Panini. I had both the ingredients on hand and decided to make these quick and easy Panini. I ate them for dinner and made them again for lunch the following day. I absolutely loved them and U thought they were ok. He usually doesn’t like crusty bread and prefers soft bread.

    The key to good Panini is using the best quality of ingredients; fresh mozzarella, good quality prosciutto, extra virgin olive oil and any fresh crusty Italian bread or a baguette. I used a baguette, vine ripe tomatoes and fresh arugula for this panini.
