Vegetable, Pesto and Smoked Mozzarella Panini

Prep time: 15 minutes / Cook time: 30 minutes total

  • 8 large, thin slices portabella mushroom
  • 8 very thin slices red onion
  • 4 very thin lengthwise slices zucchini, halved
  • 4 large, very thin slices peeled eggplant
  • Olive oil and garlic salt
  • 4 large strips roasted red pepper (about the size of the sandwich)
  • 8 slices grainy bread, sliced ¾-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons pesto
  • 6 oz. smoked mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

Brush mushrooms, onions, zucchini and eggplant lightly with olive oil. Cook in a large skillet (in batches) over medium-high heat for a few minutes on each side to lightly brown. Remove from skillet and sprinkle with garlic salt; set aside. Spread one side of 4 bread slices with pesto. Top with half the cheese, equal amounts of vegetables and the remaining cheese. Brush bread lightly with olive oil and cook in a panini press for about 5 minutes or until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

Makes 4 servings

Pairing Suggestion: Pinot Noir

Recipe tip: No panini press? Place sandwiches in a large skillet over medium heat. Press down with a large plate to compress sandwich and cook for 5 minutes. Turn and repeat.
