Grilled Caprese Panini


2 Servings:

For Pesto Sauce:
1/2 cup basil leaves
1/2 cup spinach leaves
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons olive oil


Panini:
4 slices of a sprouted grain bread {Ezekiel}
2 ounces mozzarella cheese cut into 4 slices
1 medium tomatoes and cut into 4 slices
olive oil {for Panini grill}

Directions:
1. Preheat Panini grill
2. For pesto, combine the basil, spinach, parm cheese, nuts, garlic, and oil in a food processor or blender. Puree until the mix becomes thick like a paste.
3. Spread pesto onto each slice of bread, then top with 1 cheese slice and 1 tomato sliver on each.  Put sandwich together.
4. Grease top and bottom of grill, add the sandwiches and close lid. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown on top! These can be served warm or cold but WARM is my favorite!
