Ezme Panini

A hot, crisp panini layered with Kursat’s Ezme Paste, roasted vegetables, and bubbling melted cheese. The Ezme Paste brings a rich, savoury base with vibrant pepper and tomato depth, while the cheese melts into the vegetables for a simple, satisfying sandwich with plenty of flavour in every bite.

Ingredients (Serves 2)

2 panini rolls or ciabatta rolls
4 tbsp Kursat’s Ezme Paste
1 red pepper, sliced
½ red onion, sliced
150g mozzarella or mature cheddar, grated or sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & black pepper, to taste

Method

Prepare the vegetables
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the pepper and red onion, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until softened and lightly caramelised.

Build the panini
Slice the panini rolls open and spread Kursat’s Ezme Paste generously over the inside of both halves. Add the cooked vegetables and finish with the cheese.

Toast until golden
Close the panini and cook in a sandwich press until the bread is crisp and golden and the cheese is fully melted. Alternatively, bake in an oven at 200°C fan until hot and golden.

Serve
Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
