Recipe Preparation

  1. Combine the ingredients for the herbed mayo in a bowl, using an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, a food processor or blender can be used for this step.
  2. Slice the tomatoes into ¼” thickness and season them with a few fresh grinds of Butcher’s Blend.
  3. Drizzle each half of the bread with approximately ½ teaspoon of PizzaOlio Infused Olive Oil and ½ teaspoon of Basil Barrel Aged Balsamic. Season with a few fresh cracks of Butcher’s Blend. Generously spread the herbed mayo on each side of the bread, about 1-2 Tbsp total.
  4. Layer the sandwich with mozzarella slices, seasoned tomatoes, and arugula. Adjust the quantity of mozzarella and tomatoes based on the size of your bread to ensure a single layer.
  5. Preheat a panini press to 375°F. Brush the plates lightly with about 1/2 tsp PizzaOlio Infused Olive Oil. Cook the sandwich until golden brown, typically around 4 to 5 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy!
