Ingredients

  • 1 loaf artisanal white bread, sliced thin, slices cut into 3-inch squares
  • Olive tapenade, recipe follows
  • Mozzarella cheese, sliced thin
  • Softened butter

Directions

Spread bread pieces on a work surface. Spread 1/2 tablespoon olive tapenade on half the pieces, then cover with a slice of mozzarella, then cover with the remaining bread slices. Butter both sides of the sandwich and grill in batches in a panini press until browned on both sides. Put on a platter and cover with foil to keep warm until serving.

    I served these to my friends who came over today. They were delicious! Everyone really liked them, and one friend in particular kept asking me to make more! They're very quick and easy to prepare, too.
