Sauted veggie, mozzarella, pesto panini



Ingredients (see above)
-8 oz mozzarella
-1 zucchini
-1 or 2 yellow squash
-4 Tb pesto
-1 jar roasted red peppers
-1/2 large red onion
-good bread buns
-1 Tb EVOO
-3 Tb balsamic vinegar
-2 tsp mince garlic
-pepper

Steps:
1. Slice and dice onion, zucchini, and squash

2. Heat oil in pan and saute veggies for about 10 mins, or until still slightly crispy, adding garlic, balsamic vinegar, and pepper


3. While veggies are sauteing, slice mozzarella and cut up roasted red pepper


4. Slice buns in half and spread pesto on one side


5. Once veggies are done, remove from heat and let cool a little.

6. Tear pieces of foil large enough to wrap around panini. Then build paninis, on top of the shiny side of the foil. First put several heaping spoons of veggie mixture on, then about 3 slices mozzarella, roasted red pepper.


7. Cover with foil and give the foil packet a press to flatten a bit.


8. Cook on baking sheet for about 6 minutes at 350.

9. Unwrap foil packets and enjoy!
