RECIPE BACKSTORY
Let the grilling begin ... with summer just around the corner :). Only instead of ribs or a juicy hamburger, its grilled veggie panini today.
Serve this with a nice tall cool drink and your favorite chips. Enjoy!
NOTE:
I used a heavy cast iron skillet to press the sandwich down on the grill.
This gives the sandwich ridges and the bread will grill to a perfect crisp on the outside.
