Cooking Steps
- 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.
