Panini's

I really like Panera bread. Here in Germany I definitely miss it.
So, I have to recreate one of my favorite sandwiches. Tomato - Mozzarella Panini.

I like to use Ciabatta bread but you can use any bread you like.
You can either use one of those panini grills or you can just use a heavy pan to press down on the bread. Either way it works.

 Tomato - Mozzarella Panini

1 Ciabatta bread
Pesto
Tomatoes
fresh Mozzarella
sun dried tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste

Cut the bread in half and spread pesto on the bottom half. Slice up the tomatoes and cover the entire bread. Season with salt and pepper. Drain and cut the Mozzarella in slices and lay on top of the tomatoes. Chop the sun dried tomatoes ans sprinkle on the Mozzarella. Place the top of the ciabatta bread on the sandwich and heat some butter in a frying pan and start frying the bread on medium heat, pressing down on it, as it's frying. You want the cheese to melt and the outside to be just golden brown and crunchy. 

I like to serve it with chips, pickles and olives. In winter it goes good with a cup of soup and in the summer I like to pair it with a Greek salad.
