Ingredients

• 1 can (5 oz) Canned tuna (in water, drained)
• 0.5 cup Marinated artichoke hearts (drained and roughly chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 rolls Ciabatta bread (or other crusty sandwich rolls)
• 4 slices Provolone cheese
• 1 cup Spinach leaves
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the tuna artichoke filling.

Step 2

Slice the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and lightly brush the cut sides with olive oil.

Step 3

Layer the bottom half of each roll with a slice of provolone cheese, followed by half of the tuna artichoke filling, a handful of spinach leaves, and another slice of provolone cheese. Place the top half of the roll on each sandwich.

Step 4

Heat a panini press or a large skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, place another heavy pan on top of the sandwiches to press them down.

Step 5

Cook the panini for 3-4 minutes on each side (or in the panini press for 5-6 minutes total) or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.

Step 6

Remove the panini from the heat, let them cool for 1 minute, then slice each sandwich in half. Serve warm and enjoy!
