GRILLED PANINI

   

Prep time: 15 mins.         Total time: 25 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

INGREDIENTS

• Sourdough/Ciabatta/French bread (don't use soft bread like wonder bread)
• Olive oil
• Basil pesto - 1/2 cup
• Balsamic Vinegar - 2 teaspoon
• Melted butter - 1 tablespoon
• Red and green bell peppers - thinly sliced
• Onions - thinly sliced
• Chicken/Beef/Turkey - 4 slices

• Shredded parmesan cheese - 1/2 cup

METHOD:

• Preheat the panini grill to max heat. Cut and mix vegetables with balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, olive oil and minced garlic.

• Place those vegetables on the grill and close the lid. Place them aside when you get good grill marks and some nice carmelization.

• Spread pesto over the bread slices and place grilled onions, bell-peppers in between the sandwich. 

• Apply melted butter on top of the bread slices to get good grill marks.

• Press the sandwiches in preheated panini grill until crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
