Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole wheat bread slices
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Basil pesto
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or panini press to medium heat.
Wash and slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Core the red bell pepper and cut into thin strips.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the zucchini and red bell pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper while cooking.
Spread 1 tablespoon of basil pesto evenly on one side of two bread slices.
Layer 1/2 cup spinach leaves, half the cooked zucchini and red bell pepper, and 2 slices of mozzarella cheese on top of the pesto-spread bread slice.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread to cover the filling.
Lightly grease the grill pan or panini press with a little olive oil if necessary. Place the sandwiches on the grill pan and press down firmly with a spatula or close the panini press.
Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side (or until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown and crispy).
Remove the panini from the heat, let it cool slightly, and then slice each sandwich in half.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Vegetable Panini WW.
