Panini with Roasted Red Pepper and Goat Cheese - Panini Sandwich Recipe

goat cheese

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Feta is lower in calories, while cream cheese is often less expensive.

ciabatta bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white sandwich bread

Whole grain adds fiber; white bread is more affordable.

Line a pan with foil for easier cleanup.

Place 2 bell peppers on the pan and put it under the broiler on the top shelf.

Rotate the bell peppers as they cook until the skin is black and charred.

Transfer the roasted peppers to a glass or stainless steel bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam for about 10 minutes.

Cut the bread into quarter-inch slices and set aside.

Peel the skins off the bell peppers and place the skins in a separate bowl.

Brush one side of the thinly sliced bread with olive oil and place it on the panini maker.

Spread goat cheese on the bread, covering it entirely to prevent sogginess.

Tear the roasted bell peppers to fit and load them onto the goat cheese-covered bread.

Spread a little peach preserves on the top slice of bread for sweetness.

Add basil leaves on top of the peach preserves.

Brush the top slice of bread with olive oil.

Heat up the panini maker and press the sandwich until golden and crispy.

Remove the panini from the press and plate it.
