To be honest I’d never had a panini sandwich until recently, but fortunately for me, we were gifted with a Panini maker which has put me firmly on the bandwagon. I don’t know if I’m the last one to discover these great tasting sandwiches, but just in case there are some people out there who’d like to give them a try here’s the recipe that we’ve been using. I think it came from the Weight Watchers website. It’s quite tasty, and considering the recipe’s source it must not be too bad for your waist line either.
1 tomato 1 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar 1/2 tsp olive oil 1/4 tsp dried oregano 1/8 tsp table salt 1/8 tsp pepper Italian bread (Went with garlic sourdough last time, and it was quite excellent) mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced1 clove of garlic 1 cup arugula or basil leaves Instructions
- preheat panini pan to medium high heat
- in cup, stir vinegar, oil, oregano, salt and pepper
- brush mixture on each slice of bread
- layer 1/4 cheese, sliced tomato, and arugula or basil leaves
- add layered sandwich to panini pan and cook until golden brown. You will need to flip the sandwich half way through to toast both sides.
- Repeat until stomach cannot take any more.
