Prosciutto Sandwich (Panino) With Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil
This prosciutto sandwich is a delicious Italian panino recipe that pairs sliced Italian prosciutto with fresh buffalo mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, and basil. The simple flavors come together to create a salty and fresh sandwich that is reminiscent of an Italian summer. Served on schiacciata bread (which is very similar to focaccia) and it is served fresh (not grilled) to allow the flavors to really shine through. Thanks to the simple ingredients, a big bonus is that it comes together in just a few minutes!
