Paninis

AuthorLaura HarbinCategory

Grilled veggies and cheese on paninis. Easy to adapt to veggies and type of cheese you prefer.

Yields6 Servings
Prep Time30 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time1 hr
 1 small eggplant
 1 zucchini
 1 bell pepper
 1 onion
 pesto and olive tapenade
 6 ciabata buns
 6 slices of cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
 olive oil for brushing veggies
1

Slice eggplant thinly making sure pieces are smaller than buns. Slice rest of veggies in the same manner.

2

Brush veggies with olive oil and Grill on bbq or countertop grill until cooked through.

3

Slice buns lengthwise and spread pesto on one side and olive tapenade on other side. Layer cooked veggies on bun and add cheese.

4

Press panini together and grill until cheese is melted.

5

Tip: Normally I start with the eggplant which seems to take the longest, so I cut that up first and start cooking and cut other veggies while whatever is on the grill is cooking.
