Eggplant and Mozzarella Panini

Ingredients

• 4 (1/2 inch thick) slices eggplant, peeled
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 8 slices Italian bread
• 4 thin slices Swiss cheese

 

Directions

• Brush the outside of the sliced Italian bread with olive oil
• Fill with 1 slice each mozzarella (one half slice on each side) and eggplant.
• Using a Panini or sandwich press, press and cook until golden.

 

If you don’t have a sandwich press, you can simply do it the old fashioned way by using a griddle or skillet and placing a small but heavy plate (or a plate with a heavy cup on top!) on the sandwich. then remove, flip and press again until golden.)
