Step:

  1. Melt the butter or heat the grill pan and drizzle some olive oil to toast the sandwich

  2. Slit the bread from the center into two halves

  3. Slice the cheese into rings

  4. Drizzle some olive oil on the base slice

  5. Add 2-3 rings of mozzarella cheese

  6. Add the tomtoes and rocket leaves

  7. Add a pinch of salt and crushed black pepper to season

  8. Cover with the other slice

  9. Press gently and add the sandwich to be grilled on both sides on the hot grill pan

  10. Take off heat once done and serve immediately

  11. Tip: traditionally a panini pan is used to grill the sandwiches, but this sandwich being versatile, can be made on any grill pan too

  12. Tip: for a non vegetarian version, use slices of baked salmon/minced and boiled chicken/canned tuna, etc as a filling. The tomatoes and arugula form the Essence of the sandwich along with the fresh mozzarella

  13. Enjoy!
