Recipe - Panqa Mortadella Sandwich

Panqa Mortadella Sandwich (Warm, Melty & Bold)

This Panqa Mortadella Sandwich is rich, savory, and perfectly balanced with Panqa Sauce’s citrus-ginger chili heat. Warm, lightly crisped mortadella, fresh mozzarella, and toasted bread come together for a sandwich that feels indulgent but incredibly simple. 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

Turn this into Panqa Mortadella Sliders by using mini brioche buns. Serve with pickled vegetables or chips for an easy crowd-pleaser.
