Tomato Basil Panini


Ingredients:

1 large tomato, sliced thin
1/4 c. basil, chopped
2 Tbs. pesto (any flavor, I used walnut pesto)
1/2 c. shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
4 slices of wheat bread
Parkay butter spray

Preheat a skillet or grill pan on medium heat. Spray two sides of bread with the Parkay butter spray and place butter side down on the heated skillet. Spread 1/2 tbs. on each slice. Add half of the sliced tomato and basil to each slice of bread. Top with the shredded Mozzarella cheese. Spread the remaining pesto on the other two pieces of bread and place, pesto side down, on top of the Mozzarella. Spray the tops of each slice of bread with the butter spray. Flip both sandwiches and continue to cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and until the cheese is your preferred consistency. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly before cutting in half. (Makes 2 sandwiches, I used Sara Lee 100% wheat bread, which bumped the points up to 8 WW points per sandwich. If you use Taystee white bread, or a lower point bread, it could be as little as 5-6 WW points.)
