INGREDIENTS
2 slices Whole Grain Bread
3.5 ounces Extra-Firm Tofu
1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup Zucchini
1/2 cup Eggplant
1 tablespoon Fresh Basil Pesto
1 slice Low-Fat Mozzarella Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1/2 teaspoon Mixed Dried Italian Herbs
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Toss the chopped red bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant with olive oil and dried Italian herbs on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, slice the tofu into 1/4-inch thick pieces and grill them in a non-stick pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices in a pan or toaster.
Spread the fresh basil pesto on each slice of toasted bread.
Layer the roasted vegetables, grilled tofu, and the low-fat mozzarella cheese on one slice of bread, then top with the other slice, pesto side down.
Press the sandwich gently and, if desired, grill the assembled panini in a panini press or heavy skillet on medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until the cheese softens.
Cut in half and serve warm.
