Recipe for Thursday

Fresh Mozzarella and Tomato Paninis

sandwiches

POINTS® Value: 5 Servings: 2 Preparation Time: 10 min Cooking Time: 4 min Level of Difficulty: Easy

We give these sandwiches extra flavor by rubbing the bread with a cut garlic clove. Swap basil for the arugula if it's too peppery for your taste.

Ingredients

	1 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar
	1/2 tsp olive oil
	1/4 tsp dried oregano
	1/8 tsp table salt
	1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
	4 oz Italian bread, cut into eight 1/2-inch-thick pieces
	2 oz whole milk mozzarella cheese, fresh, thinly sliced
	1 cup(s) arugula, baby leaves
	1 medium plum tomato(es), cut into eight thin slices
	4 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray
	1 medium garlic clove(s), peeled and cut in half

Instructions

• Preheat outdoor grill (or grill pan or skillet).
  
  
• In a small cup, stir together vinegar, oil, oregano, salt and pepper until blended. Brush mixture onto 1 side of each slice of bread.
  
  
• To make each sandwich, layer 1/4 of cheese over brushed side of bread and then top with 2 tomato slices and 1/4 cup of arugula. Top with another slice of bread, brushed side down and then coat sandwiches with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  
  
• Grill, lightly pressing with a spatula from time to time, until bread is toasted and cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes per side; rub grilled bread with garlic clove. Yields 2 sandwiches per serving.
