with Melty Mozz, Basil Sauce & Italian-Seasoned Potato Wedges

By Recipe0 System

Somewhere along the line, sandwiches were deemed “lunch food only.” We’re here to call that bad advertising. Sandwiches (better yet, panini) could not be more dinner-worthy. Our chefs have officially reclaimed the handheld meal and now present it to you in its most hearty, delicious, and satisfying form. Sautéed zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, melty mozz, and creamy basil sauce are layered between ciabatta bread and pan-pressed to crispy, golden perfection. On the side, there’s roasted potato wedges (you know, for good measure). Step aside, lunch police!

Instructions

6 steps

1

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce.

Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, half the Italian Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until lightly browned and tender, 20-25 minutes.
2

While potatoes roast, trim and cut zucchini into ¼-inch-thick rounds. Pick basil leaves from stems; finely chop leaves. Halve ciabatta. Finely chop sun-dried tomatoes.
3

Toss zucchini in a medium bowl with a drizzle of olive oil, half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest in the next step), remaining Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini in a single layer; cook until golden brown and just tender, 2-4 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

4 SERVINGS: Toss with a large drizzle of olive oil.
4

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped basil, and remaining garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.
5

Spread a layer of basil sauce onto cut sides of ciabatta.

Fill ciabatta with mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and a few slices of zucchini (you may have some left over—feel free to serve on the side, if you like).
6

Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for zucchini over medium heat. Once hot, add sandwiches; press down with a spatula or heavy-bottomed pan. Cook, pressing occasionally, until bread is toasted and cheese melts, 2-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, halve on a diagonal.

Divide between plates. Serve with potato wedges on the side.

4 SERVINGS: Cook sandwiches in batches if needed.

TIP: If pan seems dry when flipping the sandwiches, add another drizzle of oil or ½ TBSP butter. Lower heat if bread begins to brown too quickly.
