Roasted vegetable Panini

I love my panini grill. I make a lot of sandwiches for lunch. It is creative and kids love the variety. For this sandwich I used roasted red pepper and portobello mushroom.

4 square ciabatta bread
1 large red pepper
4 large porotbello mushroom
4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
horseradish
mayonniase
hot sauce(optional)

Method:
1. Cut the red pepper from top, and remove seeds. Flatten the pepper with the heel of your palm.
2. Clean the mushroom with wet paper towel, remove the stem and make 3 slits on the top.

3. On a plate, mix 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil(EVOO), 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ground pepper, and crushed red pepper(optional).
4. Coat vegetables with the oil mixture, and place them on a broiler pan, top side up. Broil till the peppers are blackened. Remove from pan. Place the pepper in a plastic bag while still hot and seal. When the pepper is cooled, peel the skin and cut pepper into strips.
5. Mix mayonnaise and horseradish in  a bowl. Spread the bottom slice with the mayo.

6. Layer the bottom with pepper, Cheese and mushroom, in that order. Place the top and grill it in the panini. Enjoy with spring mix salad.
