Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your panini press to medium-high heat. If you don't have one, preheat a large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Lay out the 8 slices of ciabatta on a clean cutting board or work surface.

Assemble the Panini

Spread 1 tablespoon of basil pesto evenly onto one side of 4 of the bread slices. These will be the bottom halves.
Layer the fresh mozzarella slices over the pesto, dividing the cheese equally among the 4 sandwiches.
Arrange 2 slices of prosciutto on top of the mozzarella for each sandwich.
Top the prosciutto with a small handful of arugula (about 1/2 cup each).
Lightly season the arugula with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top to complete the sandwiches.

Grill to Perfection

Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the outer top and bottom surfaces of each sandwich with extra virgin olive oil. This creates a perfectly crisp, golden crust.
Carefully place the assembled panini onto the hot press. Close the lid and grill for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown with distinct grill marks and the mozzarella is fully melted.
If using a skillet, place the sandwiches in the pan. Press them down firmly with a heavy pot lid or another heavy skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is gooey.

Rest and Serve

Transfer the hot panini to a cutting board and let them rest for 1-2 minutes. This allows the cheese to set slightly, preventing it from oozing out when cut.
Slice each panini in half diagonally with a sharp serrated knife.
Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
