    Source of Recipe


    Michael Chiarello

    List of Ingredients




    1 loaf artisanal white bread ; sliced thin, slices cut into 3-inch squares
    Olive tapenade (see below)
    Mozzarella cheese
    Softened butter

    Recipe



    Spread bread pieces on a work surface. Spread 1/2 tablespoon olive tapenade on half the pieces, then cover with a slice of mozzarella, then cover with the remaining bread slices. Butter both sides of the sandwich and grill in batches in a panini press until browned on both sides. Put on a platter and cover with foil to keep warm until serving.

    Olive Tapenade:
    3 anchovies
    1 clove garlic, minced
    1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
    1 cup pitted kalamata olives, plus additional as needed
    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus additional as needed
    Put anchovies, garlic and thyme in a blender or food processor and puree. Add olives and olive oil, and pulse to a smooth paste. If it is too thin, add more pitted olives. If it is too thick, add more olive oil.
