Instructions
-
Prepare the Mozzarella
Start by slicing the buffalo mozzarella into even, thin pieces. Set them aside to prepare for assembly. -
Heat the Piadinas
Place a non-stick skillet or pan on the stove over medium heat. Warm the first piadina for 30 seconds on one side. Flip it and heat for another 30 seconds on the other side. Add half of the mozzarella slices onto one side of the piadina, and cover with a lid to help the cheese melt slightly. -
Assemble the Piadina
Once the mozzarella starts to melt, remove the piadina from the pan and place it onto a cutting board. Drizzle with a touch of extra virgin olive oil and scatter half of the sun-dried tomatoes over the cheese. Sprinkle with a pinch of oregano and a light dusting of freshly cracked black pepper. -
Repeat for the Second Piadina
Repeat the heating and assembling steps for the second piadina. Follow the same procedure, adding the remaining mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, and oregano. -
Serve
Serve the piadine warm, cut in half or whole, for a savory Italian-inspired meal. Pair with a light salad or enjoy on its own as a quick and satisfying dish.

Tips:
- Vegan Option: For a vegan alternative, substitute buffalo mozzarella with a plant-based mozzarella.
- Extra Flavor: Try adding a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a tangy finish or some arugula for an extra layer of freshness.
- Storage: This dish is best served fresh, but leftover piadine can be stored in an airtight container for up to a day and reheated in a skillet for a crisp texture.
