1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon lowfat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon brown deli mustard or

Cut roll horizontally for sandwiches; place on
work surface cut sides up. Spread each cut side
lightly with butter. Place mayonnaise and mus-
tard in a small bowl, stir to blend. Evenly spread
mayonnaise/mustard mixture on the cut side of

cheese evenly, and use to build sandwiches in
that order. Top with pickle slices, then top half
of roll.
Arrange the sandwiches evenly spaced on the
bottom grill plate. Close applying medium pres-

Muffuletta Panini
A warm twist on the traditional
New Orleans favorite.
Makes 2 panini
¼
cup chopped/sliced jalapeño-stuffed
green olives
¼ cup chopped/sliced black olives (can
use kalamata olives)
¼ cup chopped marinated artichokes
(drain before chopping)
2 tablespoons chopped roasted
red pepper
2 tablespoons chopped red onion
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon basil
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
2 deli rolls
2 ounces thinly sliced cappicola ham
or prosciutto
2 ounces thinly sliced mozzarella
2 ounces thinly sliced sopressata or
Genoa salami (can use some of each)
2 ounces thinly sliced provolone
In a small bowl combine both types of olives,
chopped artichokes, roasted pepper, red onion,
lemon juice, olive oil, basil, oregano, and garlic.
Stir to mix well and let stand at least 10 to 15
minutes to allow flavors to develop.
Preheat the Cuisinart ® Griddler ™ Panini & Sand-
wich Press while assembling panini.
Slice rolls horizontally, scoop out some of the
bread from the upper half of the roll. Place the
roll bottoms on the work surface. Top each with
layers of ham, mozzarella, sopressata, and pro-
volone. Then carefully mound half the olive salad
on each and cover with scooped out roll tops.
Place on preheated Griddler ™ Panini & Sand-
wich Press. Lower lid carefully and close using
medium light pressure. Grill sandwiches for 3 to
4 minutes, until bread is toasty and sandwich
filling is warmed – cheeses will be warmed, not
completely melted.
Serve immediately.
