ROASTED RED PEPPER AND ARTICHOKE PANINI
this is a tasty, quick vegetarian meal. i often use other spreads in place of pesto- i especially love trader joes eggplant garlic one! any good melting cheese will work but the best i have used are monterey jack, havarti, munster and mozzarella- mild white cheeses seem to be a good fit.
