  • 1 (12-ounce) loaf French bread cut in half horizontally
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) fresh mozzarella cheese shredded, divided
  • 2 ounces very thin slices prosciutto
  • 2 plum tomatoes thinly sliced
  • Cooking spray

Recipe Method

1. Hollow out top and bottom halves of bread, leaving a 1/2-inch-thick shell; reserve torn bread for another use.

2. Spread 2 tablespoons mayonnaise over cut side of each bread half. Sprinkle basil and 1/2 cup cheese on bottom half of loaf.

3. Top evenly with prosciutto, tomato slices, and remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Cover with top half of loaf. Cut filled loaf crosswise into 4 equal pieces.

4. Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add sandwiches to pan.

5. Place a cast- iron or other heavy skillet on top of sandwiches; press gently to flatten sandwiches.

6. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until bread is toasted (leave cast-iron skillet on sandwiches while they cook).
