Piadini Caprese

We love Caprese salads, which is simply buffalo mozzarella, ripe fresh tomatoes, and basil dressed with olive oil, salt and pepper and I have taken those ingredients as a filling for this tasty piadini sandwich.  This panini would be great for picnics outdoors, but I would take the ingredients packed separately and assemble them just before serving in order to prevent the sandwiches from becoming soggy.

Buon Appetito!
