Grilled Vegetable Panini Recipe

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: goat cheese

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Goat cheese adds tanginess while being lower in calories.

ciabatta bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: sourdough bread

Whole grain bread increases fiber content.

Preheat the George Foreman grill to 350 degrees.

If using an outdoor grill, heat it to medium (300 degrees).

Slice the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and eggplant into very thin strips.

Peel the eggplant skin using a peeler or knife, and cut around any bruises.

Prepare the ciabatta bread by spreading pesto on the inside of both halves.

Spray the vegetables with Pam spray (vegetable oil) and season with salt, black pepper, and oregano.

Place the vegetables on the preheated George Foreman grill and close the lid.

Grill the vegetables for about 3-5 minutes until they are tender and have grill marks.

Layer the grilled vegetables on the bottom half of the ciabatta bread.

Add sun-dried tomatoes on top of the grilled vegetables.

Top with shredded cheese to help it melt when the sandwich is assembled.

Close the sandwich with the top half of the ciabatta bread and spray the outside with Pam spray.

Place the sandwich back on the grill and press down to grill until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
