Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
2 small Japanese eggplants or 1 medium to large regular eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
2 zucchini, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 baguettes (each about 2 feet long)
1/2 cup Basil Pesto, recipe follows
8 ounces fresh water-packed mozzarella cheese, drained, sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 cup roasted red peppers
8 large basil leaves, optional

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle the oil over the eggplant, zucchini, and onion slices, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Working in batches, grill the eggplant, zucchini, and onions until they are tender and grill marks appear, about 4 minutes per side. Cool completely.
  • Cut each baguette into 6 pieces. Working with one baguette piece at a time, slice in half and spread both sides with the pesto. Working with the bottom slice of the baguette, stack 2 slices of eggplant, 2 slices zucchini, 1 slice onion, 1 slice tomato, 1 slice mozzarella, and 1 slice of roasted pepper. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place top half of baguette on top and continue with remaining baguette. (The sandwiches can be made 4 hours ahead. Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate.)
  • 2 cups fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup (about) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • In a blender, pulse the basil, pine nuts, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper until finely chopped. With the blender still running, gradually add enough oil to form a smooth and thick consistency. Transfer the pesto to a medium bowl and stir in 1/2 cup of cheese. Season the pesto with more salt and pepper, to taste. (The pesto can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 portobello mushroom
Olive oil, optional, for grilling
1 tablespoon roasted garlic hummus
2 slices whole-grain bread
Fresh spinach, for topping

Steps:

  • This recipe was created by a contestant during a cooking competition. The Food Network Kitchens have not tested it for home use, therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.

Tips:

  • Select the Right Bread: Choose a sturdy bread that can hold up to the heat of the panini press and the fillings inside. Ciabatta, sourdough, or French bread are great options.
  • Layer the Ingredients Wisely: Start with the spread or sauce, then add the cheese, followed by the vegetables and protein. Avoid overloading the sandwich, or it won't cook evenly.
  • Use Fresh and High-Quality Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the tastier the sandwich will be. Look for ripe vegetables, crisp lettuce, and flavorful cheese.
  • Don't Skimp on the Butter: Butter the outsides of the bread slices before grilling. This will help them brown and crisp up nicely.
  • Cook the Sandwich Over Medium Heat: This will allow the cheese to melt and the vegetables to soften without burning the bread.
  • Press the Sandwich Firmly: Use a panini press or a heavy skillet to press the sandwich down. This will help it cook evenly and seal in the fillings.

Conclusion:

Veggie sandwich paninis are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With endless variations of fillings and toppings, there's sure to be a veggie sandwich panini that everyone will love. Whether you're a fan of classic grilled cheese or prefer a more adventurous combination of flavors, these tips and recipes will help you create a perfect veggie sandwich panini every time.
