INGREDIENTS
2 slices Whole Grain Panini Bread (120g total)
2.5 oz Fresh Mozzarella Cheese (~70g)
1/2 cup roasted Zucchini (~90g)
1/2 cup roasted Red Bell Pepper (~75g)
1/2 cup roasted Eggplant (~60g)
2 tbsp Basil Pesto (~30g)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Slice zucchini, red bell pepper, and eggplant into even pieces. Toss the vegetables with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite dried herbs.
Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Heat a panini press or a skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush the outside of the whole grain bread slices with olive oil.
On the inside of one slice, spread 1 tbsp of basil pesto. Layer the roasted vegetables evenly, then add the slices of fresh mozzarella cheese. Drizzle the remaining pesto on top of the cheese.
Close the sandwich with the second slice of bread, oil side out. Grill in the panini press or skillet, pressing down gently, for about 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
Remove the panini from the heat, let it rest for a minute, slice in half, and serve warm.
