Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450ºF or preheat panini press to high. Wash and dry all produce. • Halve sandwich buns. Brush tops of each sandwich bun with 1/2 tbsp oil. • Drain half the roasted peppers, then firmly pat dry with paper towels. Cut roasted peppers into 1/4- inch slices. (NOTE: Save remaining roasted peppers for a future creation.) • Thinly slice mozzarella, then season with salt and pepper. • Roughly chop arugula and spinach mix. • Combine pesto and mayo in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine
Divide pesto mayo between top and bottom buns. • Divide roasted red peppers over bottom buns. Layer with mozzarella slices, then arugula and spinach mix. Close with top buns
Transfer paninis to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place another large baking sheet over top of paninis and press down firmly to secure (NOTE: You can place a heavy pot or saucepan on the top baking sheet to help weigh it down.) • Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cheese has melted, 4-5 min. • Alternatively, place paninis into the sandwich press and close. Grill until golden-brown and cheese has melted, 3-5 min.
Remove paninis from the oven and cut in half. • Divide panini halves between plates.
