These caprese panini sandwiches are just 360 calories and so easy to make.I boosted the flavor with the help of garlic, you'll want a whole, peeled clove of garlic to rub over the grilled bread. This adds just a little flavor without overwhelming the vegetarian sandwich. Special Tip: You can add as much basil as you like, so if you love basil, really pack it in there. It's a natural pain reliever!
Preheat a grated pan or panini maker over medium heat.
While it preheats, assemble the paninis- Place the bread on a cutting board and alternate tomatoes and mozzarella topping one slice of bread from end to end with tomato and mozzarella.
Top with basil leaves and the second slice of bread.
Spray the grated pan or panini maker with olive oil and add the sandwich.
Grated Pan Method- If using a grated pan, add another pan to the top of the sandwich (with the bottom of the pan- the part that usually touches the stove top) to squish it down. Panini Maker Method- If using a panini maker, simply close over the sandwich.
Grill for 5 minutes, and flip. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown, and the cheese melted.
Move to a cutting board, and rub the garlic clove over the grilled sides of the bread.
