Ingredients for this Starbucks roasted tomato mozzarella panini

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this easy breakfast sandwich. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.

  • Cherry tomatoes- These will be perfect for tomato roasting and developing extra flavor that will take your sandwich to the next level.
  • Olive oil – I prefer using olive oil for roasting the fresh tomatoes but feel free to use canola oil if that is all you have on hand.
  • Salt & black pepper
  • Fresh mozzarella cheese- This will give you the same result as the Starbucks sandwich, you can also add a little extra parmesan cheese to elevate your sandwich.
  • Basil pesto
  • Spinach
  • Focaccia roll – You can make your own but I think store-bought bread makes this much easier. If you don’t want to use focaccia feel free to use your favorite bread instead

You can add some hot sauce to this sandwich for a spicy kick which I love to do especially when you add extra protein to this sandwich.

The best part about this perfect sandwich is that you can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Make sure to wrap each sandwich in

Some of my favorite things to add to my own panini sandwich is some lean meat like rotisserie chicken, turkey, deli meat, or even tofu.

The simplest swap is to use your favorite gluten-free bread instead of the focaccia we are using here. Make sure that you check the pesto if you are using storebought to ensure that it is also gluten-free.
