Tools

Steps
Wash the zucchini, dry it, remove the ends, and slice it with a mandoline (you can make long or round slices as you prefer). Lightly oil a cast iron grill pan for grilling with a bit of oil (I usually use the oil sprayer) and grill the zucchini on both sides. Place the piadina on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or with a reusable mat and arrange the zucchini on top. Season with salt. Add the finely shredded mozzarella and Asiago cubes, then bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for ten minutes or until the mozzarella is well melted. When the piadina is ready, transfer it to a cutting board, cut it into slices, and place a slice of prosciutto and a Taggiasca olive on each piece. Serve immediately.

If you don’t like Asiago, you can replace it with another cheese of your choice or use the same amount of mozzarella instead.
