Possibly considered a bit fancy for camping this Grilled Caprese Panini is surprisingly easy and tasty to make while outdoors.

Ingredients

  • 1 Ciabatta roll
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • 2 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 sprig basil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar reduced if available

Equipment

Directions

  • Preheat the grill and GrillGrates to a moderate low temperature, about 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Cut the Ciabatta rolls in half and open up.
  • Layer with the sliced tomato, mozzarella cheese, basil, and a sprinkle of balsamic vinegar. If you have reduced balsamic vinegar this can work better as it is thicker and less likely to make the roll go soggy.
  • Close the sandwich then place it on the preheated GrillGrates. Place an upside-down skillet over the top to keep the heat focused on the panini.
  • After about 5 minutes, or when the roll has brown grill marks on it, remove the skillet, turn the panini, then replace the skillet to finish the cooking, about 5 more minutes.
  • Halve and serve immediately while the cheese is still gooey.
