Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
- 30 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 small (sliced) Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Roasted red peppers
- 1 teaspoon Low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 spritz Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat a panini press or a non-stick grill pan over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together to create a light spread.
Spread the mixture evenly on one side of each slice of whole-grain bread.
Layer the fresh spinach, tomato slices, roasted red peppers, and low-fat mozzarella cheese onto one slice of bread with the spread facing up.
Place the second slice of bread on top, with the spread facing down toward the fillings.
Lightly spray the outside of the bread with a spritz of olive oil spray to help crisp up the bread during cooking.
Place the sandwich on the preheated panini press (or grill pan). If using a grill pan, place a heavy skillet or pan on top of the sandwich to press it down.
Cook for about 3–5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese has melted.
Carefully remove the panini from the press or pan. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat panini!
