Perfect for lunch, casual dinners, or cut into sliders for entertaining.
Why This Sandwich Works
- Savory mortadella balanced by bright citrus heat
- Quick skillet or panini-style preparation
- Melty, crispy, and deeply satisfying
- Panqa replaces heavy spreads and sauces
Ingredients
- 1 soft ciabatta roll or toasted baguette
- 3–4 slices mortadella (thick-cut preferred)
- 2–3 slices fresh mozzarella
- 1–2 tbsp Panqa Sauce
- 1 tsp olive oil or butter (for toasting)
- Handful of arugula or baby greens
Optional: roasted peppers or pickled onions
Instructions
1. Toast the Bread
- Slice the roll and lightly brush each side with olive oil or butter.
- Toast on a skillet or griddle until golden and crisp around the edges.
2. Warm the Mortadella
- Using the same pan, sear mortadella slices just until the edges curl slightly, about 30 seconds per side.
- This creates a lightly crispy edge that pairs perfectly with Panqa’s bright heat.
3. Build the Sandwich
- Spread Panqa Sauce generously on both sides of the toasted bread.
- Layer mortadella, mozzarella, and greens.
- Add roasted peppers or pickled onions if using.
4. Press and Melt (Optional)
- For a melty version, press the sandwich in a panini press or skillet with a weight for 2–3 minutes per side until the cheese softens.
5. Serve
- Slice in half and drizzle a touch more Panqa on top.
- Enjoy warm while everything is melty, tangy, and perfectly balanced.
Pro Tip
