With each bite, you'll experience a burst of bold flavors, the salty notes of the cured meats pairing perfectly with the rich creaminess of the cheese. The pickled peppers and sun-dried tomatoes lend a pleasant tanginess that adds a delightful dimension to the sandwich. 

Ingredients:
  • 1 baguette or Italian loaf
  • 4-6 slices of prosciutto
  • 4-6 slices of salami
  • 4-6 slices of mortadella
  • Handful of pickled peppers (such as banana or hot cherry peppers)
  • 4-6 sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
  • Fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Balsamic glaze (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:
  1. Preheat your panini press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cut the baguette or Italian loaf in half, lengthwise, creating a top and bottom piece for the sandwich.
  3. Drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil on the cut sides of the bread.
  4. Begin assembling your sandwich by layering the prosciutto, salami, and mortadella on the bottom half of the bread.
  5. Top the cured meats with the pickled peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and slices of fresh mozzarella.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich and press it gently together.
  8. If using a panini press, place the assembled sandwich onto the heated press and close the lid. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.
  9. If using a skillet, place the sandwich in the skillet and press it down with a spatula. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, pressing down gently to achieve that golden, crispy exterior and melty interior.
  10. Remove the Panino Della Nonna from the press or skillet and let it cool slightly.
  11. If desired, drizzle balsamic glaze over the filling for an extra burst of flavor.
