If you prefer a warm sandwich, you can briefly heat the assembled sandwich in a panini press or skillet.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of bread?

Yes, you can substitute ciabatta with any crusty bread like sourdough or a baguette.

It’s best assembled fresh to keep the bread from getting soggy. You can prep the ingredients and assemble just before eating.

What can I use instead of prosciutto?

Thinly sliced ham or salami would work well as a substitute.
