Instructions

Cut the rolls in half horizontally, then brush the inside with a drizzle of olive oil.
Wash the tomatoes and slice them thinly, then lightly season with salt and pepper.
Fill each roll with a slice of mozzarella, the ham, the tomatoes and a few basil leaves.
Close the sandwiches and brush the outside with olive oil.
Heat a non-stick pan or grill over medium heat and place the panini on it.
Press them with a heavy pan or spatula for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
Cut the panini in half and serve warm.
