When I’m craving a quick, inexpensive, warm and cheesy no-cook meal I make this ham and chimichurri panini. Sure it’s baked, so technically it’s cooked, but it truly does not require much prep time and you will only need a handful of ingredients.

Chimichurri Sauce:
Puree all ingredients in a blender. Transfer to bowl. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)
Panini:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place two halves of bread on a baking sheet.
Brush one cut side of ciabatta with olive oil and spoon on chimichurri sauce and arrange the ham slices on top. On the opposite layer brush with olive oil and layer with red pepper, and top with cheese.
Bake open for 10 minutes.
Close sandwich and bake for an additional 5 minutes until cheese melts.
Cut sandwich into quarters. Serve immediately.
