INGREDIENTS
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
150 grams Extra Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Eggplant (chopped)
1/2 cup Zucchini (sliced)
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper (sliced)
2 tbsp Pesto Sauce
1 oz Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the chopped eggplant, zucchini, and red bell pepper with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
While the vegetables roast, press the tofu for a few minutes to remove excess moisture, then slice or cube it. Lightly season with herbs like oregano, basil, and a pinch of salt.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté the tofu until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Assemble the panini by spreading 1 tablespoon of pesto on each slice of whole grain bread. Layer the roasted vegetables, sautéed tofu, and mozzarella cheese between the bread slices.
Heat a panini press or a skillet on medium heat. If using a skillet, press the sandwich with a spatula or another pan on top. Grill the sandwich for about 3-5 minutes per side until the bread is toasted and the cheese begins to melt.
Remove the panini from heat, slice in half, and enjoy your hearty and flavorful herb-roasted vegetable pesto panini.
