Red Pepper, Egg and Provolone Panini

Ingredients

• 4 slices crusty Italian bread, 1/2-inch thick (recipe called for Sicilian-style sesame semolina bread, which is not in this ingredient database)
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup jarred roasted red pepper, drained (feel free to roast your own, of course)
• 2 ounces sharp provolone cheese, sliced
• 1 ounce parmesan cheese, sliced
• olive oil

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat panini grill or stove-top griddle pan (see note below).

2. 2

   In a small bowl, beat eggs, oregano, salt, and pepper with a fork.

3. 3

   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add egg mixture.

4. 4

   Cook, lifting the edges with a fork, until set (2 to 3 minutes).

5. 5

   Divide eggs, peppers and cheeses between 2 slices of bread (I really just eyeballed most of the ingredients); top with remaining bread slices and brush outsides lightly with oil.

6. 6

   Place on panini grill or griddle and cover with grill top or grill press; grill until golden and cheese starts to melt (2 to 3 minutes per side).

7. 7

   Note: I just use a Foreman grill to make panini--I was given the grill several years ago as a gift and can't say I use it for anything else, but it does make great sandwiches :).
