Spring Peach Pesto Panini

No reviews

Sweet, salty, crunchy, and creamy are the words to describe this beautifully delicious lunchtime gem.  If you don’t have a panini press, you can always make these like a grilled cheese sandwich.  It will taste just as delightful!

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 medium peach, skin on, sliced thin

4 tbsp arugula pesto, or other store bought variety

2 slices mozzarella cheese

4 slices whole wheat bread

1 tbsp olive oil for drizzle

Instructions

Begin heating panini press.  Spread arugula pesto on all four slices of bread.  On two slices of bread, layer fresh peach slices on top of the spread pesto then top with 2 slices of cheese.  Place the other two slices of bread over the loaded slices.  Drizzle olive oil over the sandwich, turn over and repeat on other side of the sandwich.

Place sandwiches onto heated press and close the lid down.  Let cook for 5-8 minutes or until bread is toasted and cheese begins to melt.  Remove from press, slice, and serve.

Notes

*Prep time does not include making of the pesto

*For a vegan option, just substitute mozzarella with your favorite vegan cheese (I LOVE Chao Cheese) and make your pesto without cheese.
