Description

A light, but filling, panini meal--one of my family's favorites. Relatively simple, with plenty of room for anyone to improve it based on their own style of cooking.

Ingredients
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cremini mushrooms, wiped clean, trimmed, and sliced
  • 2 shallots, halved and thinly sliced
  • 3 ½ tablespoons olive oil, or more as needed, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste, divided
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fig jam
  • 2 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 ounces Manchego cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 3 sweet bell peppers, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 cup arugula
  • ½ cup baby spinach leaves
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place 1/4 teaspoon garlic in a large bowl.
  2. 2. Toss remaining garlic, mushrooms, shallots, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper together on a rimmed baking sheet, arranging in a single layer.
  3. 3. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and tender, 12 to 15 minutes.
  4. 4. Meanwhile, arrange bread slices in a single layer on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil; flip. Spread fig jam over 2 slices. Sprinkle Manchego cheese and mozzarella cheese over remaining 2 slices.
  5. 5. Transfer bread to the preheated oven and toast until golden and cheese is melted, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  6. 6. While bread toasts, add sherry vinegar to bowl of reserved garlic. Add 1/2 of the bell peppers, remaining olive oil, remaining salt, and pepper; whisk to combine. Add arugula and spinach, tossing to coat.
  7. 7. Top cheesy sides of bread with remaining bell peppers, mushrooms, shallots, and a small handful of the salad mixture. Top these with remaining bread slices, jam-side down. Halve paninis; serve with remaining salad mixture.
