Veggie-Packed Paninis
By lunchtime the next day, flavors will have mixed and mingled through the alchemy of time and pressure into something far greater than the sum of its parts – eat and run has never tasted so delicious.

This great recipe comes to us from Farmhouse Delivery!

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf ciabatta bread, or gluten-free alternative
  • 1 package of chive cheese spread
  • 2 - 3 sweet peppers, roasted, peeled, and seeded
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 eggplant, sliced and grilled
  • 1 zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise and grilled
  • small bunch basil, stems removed
  • 1 ball mozzarella, sliced
  • to drizzle olive oil
  • to drizzle balsamic vinegar
  • to taste salt & pepper

Instructions

Step 1

Warm the ciabatta in the oven until crust is crisp. Set aside to cool.

Step 2

When cool, split the loaf in half lengthwise between the top and bottom.

Step 3

Open the loaf like a book and spread the top and bottom with a thin layer of chive cheese spread.

Step 4

Layer on the peppers, tomato slices, red onion, grilled eggplant and zucchini, and top with the basil leaves.

Step 5

Layer the mozzarella slices on top of everything.

Step 6

Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Replace the top and wrap the whole loaf snugly in plastic wrap.

Step 8

Place on a sheet pan or large plate and set another pan on top. Weight the top with a couple of cans and place in the refrigerator overnight.

Step 9

Remove the plastic wrap, cut the loaf into quarters and serve.
