Smoked Italian Panini
Ready In: 15 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 3 ounces calabrese hot Italian sausage links, thinly sliced
- 3 ounces pepper salami, thinly sliced
- 3 ounces hot capicolla sausage, thinly sliced
- 3 -5 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 3 ounces smoked gouda cheese, sliced for 4 paninis
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄4 medium red onion
- 1⁄3 cup sweet roasted red pepper
- 1 1⁄4 cups baby romaine lettuce
- olive oil flavored cooking spray
- italian seasoning
- shaved parmesan cheese
- 4 asiago cheese rolls
Directions
- Meat should be very thinly sliced (I use the Daniele brand 'Italian Blend Gourmet Pack' found at a local grocer). Fry each piece for a short time, just long enough to heat them up a bit and release the juices.
- Pat down with a paper towel to remove excess grease.
- Cut the rolls in half and spray olive oil cooking spray on all insides. Then sprinkle italian seasoning over each piece.
- Arrange bread on baking sheet and put under broiler for 4-5 minutes until browned well.
- Build Panini in the following order: Bread, baby romaine, couple of rings of red onion, the first three meats, couple slices of smoked gouda, prosciutto, peppers, 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoons olive oil drizzled over top and top the entire thing off with some shaved parmesan.
- Enjoy!
