Veggie Panini Recipe

Material

Gather the following ingredients for a delicious veggie panini:
1 baguette or ciabatta loaf
1 ridge gourd, thinly sliced
1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
1 yellow capsicum, thinly sliced
1 small eggplant, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/2 cup black olives, chopped
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup balsamic glaze
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Preparing the Vegetables
Cut the zucchini, red capsicum, yellow capsicum, brinjal, tomato, and red onion into thin pieces. These fresh vegetables will add a vibrant and delicious flavor to your veggie panini.

Step 2: Assembling the Vegetable Medley
In a large bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, baby spinach leaves, basil leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, and black olives. Now drizzle olive oil over the mixture, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 3: Roasting the Vegetables
Heat a grill pan or wok over medium heat. Cook until the vegetable mixture is soft but still slightly crisp, about 5-7 minutes. This enhances the flavor and ensures that the vegetables are grilled perfectly.

Step 4: Preparing the Bread
Cut the baguette or ciabatta loaf into sandwich shapes. If you want, you can lightly toast the bread to add a delicious crunch to your veggie panini.

Step 5: Assembling the Panini
Lay out the bread slices and begin assembling your panini. Start with a layer of the roasted vegetable mixture, followed by a generous sprinkling of shredded mozzarella cheese. Optionally, you can add a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.

Step 6: Grilling the Panini
Preheat a panini press or grill pan. Carefully press the assembled panini onto a press or pan and grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, creating a sticky and delicious filling. If using a grill pan, you can press the panini with a spatula for a classic pressed look.

Step 7: Serving and Enjoying
Once your veggie panini is completely grilled, remove it from the press or pan. Let it cool slightly before cutting it into halves or quarters. Serve your veggie panini warm and enjoy the delicious combination of grilled vegetables, melted cheese, and aromatic basil.

Step 8: Customize to Taste
Feel free to customize your veggie panini with your favorite spreads or condiments. Some people like to add pesto, hummus, or aioli for an extra layer of flavor.

This veggie panini recipe offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors, making it a versatile and satisfying meal. Enjoy this grilled sandwich as a quick lunch or dinner option that is both nutritious and delicious!
