Level up your lunch game with this decadent prosciutto panini. It’s prosciutto, black olive tapenade, mozzarella, blue cheese, and a drizzle of honey, layered between two pieces of whole-grain bread, and grilled until melty. It’s easy to make and it’s ready in just 15 minutes!

This prosciutto panini is one of those sandwiches I come back to again and again—it’s quick, filling, and packed with flavor. The combination really makes it: delicate prosciutto, briny black olive tapenade, creamy cheeses, and a drizzle of honey that ties everything together.

I love how the flavors play off each other. The prosciutto is lightly salty with a subtle sweetness, the tapenade adds a bold, savory punch, and the mix of mozzarella and blue cheese gives you that perfect balance of creamy and tangy. Once it’s pressed, the bread turns golden and crisp while the cheese melts into every layer.

It comes together in under 15 minutes, which makes it perfect for an easy lunch that still feels a little special. It’s hearty, satisfying, and a great way to break out of the usual sandwich routine.
