Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine mozzarella, fontal and provolone cheeses. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, thoroughly combine gorgonzola, sun-dried tomatoes and mayonnaise. Evenly spread the gorgonzola mixture onto one side of 8 bread slices. Using 2 cups spinach, top each evenly. Layer the mozzarella mixture on top of the spinach. Top with prosciutto, then the remaining spinach leaves. Top each with a slice of bread.
- Lightly brush the top of each sandwich with olive oil. Place oiled side down in a panini machine or onto a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush tops of sandwiches with olive oil. If using a skillet or griddle, weigh the sandwiches down with a smaller skillet. Cook until the outside is crisp and the inside is melted. Makes 8 sandwiches.
