Mediterranean Style Paninis
It’s a much healthier version of the classic panini, thanks to the whole wheat bread, less cheese and the addition of veggies — and if you want even more veggies a light spinach salad would go great with this dinner.
Servings: 1 panini
Calories: 317kcal
Ingredients
- Whole wheat bread 2 slices per panini - I like Rudi's organic flax seed bread
- Feta cheese 2 oz per panini
- 1 red pepper chopped
- 1 red onion diced
- 1 tomato sliced
- olives chopped (use 3-4 olives per panini)
- salt pepper, garlic cloves, oregano, crushed red pepper, or any herbs & spices/seasonings you like
Instructions
- Chop your veggies, and slice the cheese into approx. 2 oz slices
- Layer your panini: cheese first, then toppings (as much as you like!). Top with salt/pepper/oregano/crushed red pepper -- basically any spices you like.
- Grill your panini! I used a panini press, but you can also use a grill pan if you don't have a panini press.
