Ingredients

  • 3 ounces calabrese hot Italian sausage links, thinly sliced
  • 3 ounces pepper salami, thinly sliced
  • 3 ounces hot capicolla sausage, thinly sliced
  • 3 -5 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 3 ounces smoked gouda cheese, sliced for 4 paninis
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 medium red onion
  • 1/3 cup sweet roasted red pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups baby romaine lettuce
  • olive oil flavored cooking spray
  • italian seasoning
  • shaved parmesan cheese
  • 4 asiago cheese rolls

Directions

  1. 1
    Meat should be very thinly sliced (I use the Daniele brand 'Italian Blend Gourmet Pack' found at a local grocer). Fry each piece for a short time, just long enough to heat them up a bit and release the juices.
  2. 2
    Pat down with a paper towel to remove excess grease.
  3. 3
    Cut the rolls in half and spray olive oil cooking spray on all insides. Then sprinkle italian seasoning over each piece.
  4. 4
    Arrange bread on baking sheet and put under broiler for 4-5 minutes until browned well.
  5. 5
    Build Panini in the following order: Bread, baby romaine, couple of rings of red onion, the first three meats, couple slices of smoked gouda, prosciutto, peppers, 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoons olive oil drizzled over top and top the entire thing off with some shaved parmesan.
  6. 6
    Enjoy!
