To assemble the sandwiches:

Brush cut sides of ciabatta rolls with olive oil (I use about 1 tablespoon per half). In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and working in batches, place the ciabatta halves cut-side down and toast until golden brown, about 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes.
5
Spread pesto aioli on both sides of the toasted rolls. Add 1/4 cup arugula to each sandwich. Add a layer of mozzarella slices, followed by tomato slices.
