Here is a light and super easy sandwich to make during the hot summer months!



Tomato, Mozzarella, and Basil Panini

ngredients

• 2 slices whole wheat bread
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
• 1 Roma tomato, thinly sliced
• 1 thin slice of red onion
• 8 fresh basil leaves
• Pinch of kosher or sea salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

ections

1. Spread olive oil with a pastry or basting brush over two slices of bread. Sprinkle each with salt and pepper.
2. Place one of the bread slices, oil-side down and top basil leaves, tomato slices, onion, and mozzarella. Top with other piece of bread, olive oil side up.
3. Place a heavy-bottomed skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat or use a Panini press.
4. If using a skillet, press down with lid to flatten sandwich a bit. Cook for about 2 minutes, until golden on the bottom, and flip. Repeat on other side.
5. Slice sandwich in half to make 2 servings.
6. Enjoy!
