Spinach and Cheese Panini

Very quick to make and good too.  The best part is it's low in calories.  A little shaved turkey or chicken would be really good and even more filling.  It's only about  150 calories without the meat.




SPINACH AND CHEESE PANINI
 (makes 1)

Ingredients:
*1 cup baby spinach (stems removed)
*4-6 cherry (or grape) tomatoes, sliced
*2 small mushrooms, sliced (optional)
*1/8 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
*1 sandwich thin (I like the honey wheat)
*sprinkle of dried oregano
*sprinkle of dried basil

Directions:
~Slice sandwich thin.
~Arrange spinach over bottom of sandwich thin.
~Place tomatoes over spinach.
~Sprinkle oregano & basil over the tomatoes.
~Place sliced mushrooms over the tomatoes.
~Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top.
~Put top bun over cheese.
~Spray a small skillet (or a Panini maker) with a cooking spray.
~Cook over medium-low heat.
~If using a small skillet, place a heavy skillet or aluminum lined brick on top of the sandwich.
~Cook until both sides are a golden brown (if using a skillet, you will have to flip the sandwich).
