Directions

MAKING
1. Combine hot pepper spread and mayo in small bowl. Evenly spread each slice of bread with this mayo mixture.
2. Top 3 slices of bread each with about 10 slices of porchetta, 1/4 cup arugula, and 1 slice of cheese. Close sandwiches, pressing down lightly.
3. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in large skillet on medium until oil shimmers lightly.
4. Add 2 paninis to the pan and press with spatula to flatten. Turn over when bottom slices turn golden brown, about 4 minutes.
5. Cook another 3-4 minutes, pressing occasionally with spatula to flatten, until second sides are golden brown.
6. Add remaining oil to skillet. Cook remaining paninis, per step 4-5.

SERVING
7. Cut into triangles and serve immediately. If serving as a meal, accompany with a fresh salad on the side.

TIPS
