Prosciutto, Pesto & Fresh Mozzarella Panini

8 slices Italian bread

4 ounces prepared basil pesto

1/4 lb. thinly sliced prosciutto

8-12 slices fresh mozzarella

Olive oil, for brushing

 

Preheat the panini grill to medium-high heat. For each sandwich: Spread about an ounce of pesto onto one slice of bread. Top with 1/4 of the prosciutto and 1/4 of the mozzarella. Close the sandwich with a second slice of bread. Brush a little olive oil over the top slice of bread. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted. Serve immediately.
