Roasted Vegetable and Mozzarella Panini image

From Self.com, "David Burke, of David Burke at Bloomingdale's in New York City, created this savory sandwich that's simple to make and a money saver, too." Instead of using skillets (steps 6 and 7) I used my George Forman grill - worked like a charm! I'm sure you could use a panini press as well!

I used a different type of bread for this panini and it turned out great. I think any type of bread would work well.

I'm not a fan of mozzarella cheese, so I used cheddar cheese instead. It was still delicious.
