Caprese Panini

tomato, basil and mozzarella panini

I almost always have fresh mozzarella in the house this time of year because I'm so addicted to Caprese salads. But today I only had one medium sized mozzarella ball left, and I wanted a heartier lunch, so I decided to turn my old standard into a sandwich.

I sliced everything, and then just put it on the George Foreman grill.

The result was a little messy, so next time, I should try to get some of the seeds out of the tomato, and maybe press the bread a little before I make the sandwich so I can get it a little more flat. I would also have loved some sun-dried tomatoes on this (ooh, that gives me an idea for next week...)
