Ingredients

- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

- 4 sweet Italian sausages

- 2 onions, such as Vidalia, sliced 1/4” thick

- 1 large bell pepper, sliced 1/4” thick

- 4 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced 1/4” thick

- 4 ciabatta rolls

- 4 ounces Asiago cheese, grated

- 8 1/8” thick slices Fresh Mozzarella

- White or black truffle oil, optional

1 cup jarred, roasted red pepper strips

Cooking directions

Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in large, oven-safe sauté pan over medium heat. Add

sausages and brown on all sides. Remove sausages to plate and return pan to stove. Add

onions, peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté 5 minutes.

Cut sausages in half lengthwise and place in pan with vegetables. Place pan in oven and bake

15 minutes. Remove from oven.

Preheat panini grill over medium-high heat. Drizzle buns with olive oil and halve. Place 1

ounce (generous 1/8 cup) grated Asiago cheese on each roll bottom; top with 1 slice Fresh

Mozzarella. Layer with 2 sausage halves and approximately 1/2 cup of the

onions-peppers-mushrooms. Drizzle with a few drops of white or black truffle oil, if

using. (A little goes a long way.) Top with 1/4 cup pepper strips, additional slice

Fresh Mozzarella, and ciabatta tops. Place in panini press for 5 minutes or until

cheese melts and bread is golden brown.
