Made with a variety of fillings, panini are sandwiches that are heated in a sandwich press or on the grill. They are flattened slightly during cooking, which makes them crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Assemble a couple of extra sandwiches to grill for lunch the next day.
Ingredients
Preparation
Trim ends off eggplant. Cut eggplant into 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices; place in bowl. Core, seed and cut red peppers into quarters; add to bowl. Add oil, garlic, salt and pepper; toss to coat.
Place vegetables on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning vegetables once, until tender, about 10 minutes.
Cut buns in half horizontally; spread cut sides of bottoms with mustard. Divide eggplant and peppers among bottoms; top with basil leaves, cheese and tops of buns.
Place sandwiches on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, pressing often to flatten and turning once, until buns are crusty and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Additional information :
Tip: If you can't find panini buns, look for other oval, flat-type buns, such as Portuguese buns.
