Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices of Bread or 4 Ciabatta rolls cut up
  • 1 cup mixed chopped veggies I used colored pepper,onions and Cilantro/coriander/dhaniya
  • Baby Spinach leaves or chopped spinach
  • Pesto-3-4 tsp optional can replace with Green chatni for a vegan option
  • 4 slices Pepperjack cheese or any kind of sliced cheese can skip or use vegan cheese for vegan option
  • Jalapeno peppers pickled(optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat Grill or pan
  • Apply Butter/Ghee/oil on outside of both slices of bread, so it gets to crisp nicely
  • One one side of Bread,layer as follows-Pesto,cheese,jalapeno peppers,thick layer of spinach and cut up veggies.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper, just before you are ready to grill.
  • On the other side of bread apply Mayo or butter
  • Place sandwich on hot grill/panini maker and cook till crisp and golden.

Notes

Applying butter on the outside, gives a nice golden color and makes it crisp.
You can use any kind of hearty bread, I have tried it with Soudough, Multigrain,Ciabatta,Italian and Whole Wheat and they all taste great.
If you are grilling/cooking on pan then cucumbers,tomatoes and lettuce are not good options as they tend to get watery. if you are not grilling/cooking on pan the you can use Cucumbers,tomatoes and lettuce.
