A fancy panini press isn’t necessary to create Italian-style toasted sandwiches at home. A grill pan and a brick is all you need! A little imagination, some creative fillings and you’ll be the most popular person in the kitchen!
Prep Time: 5 minutes, Cook Time: 10 minutes, Serves: 4

1 brick
Foil
8 slices ciabatta bread, cut about 1/2 inch thick
4 Tbsp. basil pesto
8 slices Provolone Cheese
1 (8 oz.) jar roasted red peppers, drained and thinly sliced
1 handful organic baby spinach
1/2 c. Henry's Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pastry brush

Wrap brick completely in foil. Spread four tablespoon pesto over four slices of bread (one tablespoon per slice). Layer with cheese, spinach and red pepper slices. Top with second piece of bread. Brush both sides of the sandwiches with oil. Heat nonstick grill pan over medium heat. Place two sandwiches onto heated grill pan. Top with foil-wrapped brick, use one brick per two sandwiches as a weight. Grill sandwiches three minutes per side. Repeat with two remaining sandwiches. Cut on the diagonal.
