I had cooked an elaborate lunch yesterday . Perfect 4 course weekend lunch menu . I had assumed it will suffice for dinner as well. However to my surprise ( and a bit disappointment in anticipation of more cooking for dinner ) we had hardly any leftovers. Everyone loved it so much that it was all gone . I was not looking forward to cook again for dinner . I was so tired . My inspiration to cook for dinner was running a little dry . Alas I glanced at my pantry . I was like mehhhh . But then the loaf of bread grabbed my attention . Given the massive surplus of pesto I had I decided to make this panini sandwich . Perfect way to make use of the George Foreman Panini Press .Worked like a charm . Very little efforts and this awesome delicious cheesy goodness was ready . Ten minutes later our whole family was enjoying these panini sandwiches around the kitchen island . Glad i had another quick weeknight dinner menu to add to my list . What is your favorite panini recipe ?
Ingredients -
Bread
Butter
Basil Pesto
Mozzarella Cheese sliced
Onion cut into rings
Tomato sliced into circular rings
Instructions -
1. Spread thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread .
2. Spread basil pesto on the other side of each slice of bread .
3. Layer two slices of bread with onion, tomato and mozarella cheese inbetween them .
4. Preheat panini maker . Place sandwiches in maker and press down . Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden . Serve immediately .
Tips -
1. Use a skillet instead of panini press. You will still get exact same sandwich minus the grill marks .
2. Add sliced avocado for a creamy flavor .
3. Switch up the basil pesto with spinach pesto . You can add couple basil leaves in the sandwich just for its flavor .
