  5. Remove the rolls from the oven and spread 1 tablespoon of pesto on the bottom half of each roll.
  6. Layer the fresh mozzarella slices evenly on top of the pesto.
  7. Add the prosciutto slices over the mozzarella, followed by the tomato slices and a handful of arugula.
  8. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the arugula and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Place the top half of the ciabatta rolls on each sandwich and press down gently.
