I like to grill sweet red pepper, portabella mushrooms, red onions, (oven roast some cherry tomatoes) then mix some goat cheese with pesto and use it as a spread on some sourdough bread.

I then use my panini grill but you could use your George Foreman.

But my alltime favorite sandwich on the panini is:

proscuitto
sliced water-packed mozzarella
fresh tomatoes

make a dressing using:

1 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves, 1 garlic clove, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Drizzle the basil dressing on the bread, top with rest of ingredients then place on panini or George Foreman. Even a plain baguette makes a great sandwich. You will love this if you ever try it. These very same ingredients also make a great antipasta salad (minus the bread of course)

Here is an excellent one, too!!! I use a LONG LOAF of nice italian bread and slice it horizontally, layer the veggies, which I grill ahead, put the top on and bake and slice down as you would a sub. I add grilled portabellos, too, and have also grilled eggplant. I marinate all veggies in a Greek dressing/marinade before grilling.


California Grilled Veggie Sandwich

I came up with this recipe to entertain friends. Since I
am a semi-vegetarian, and love to BBQ, I am always
inventing something new. The first time I made this my
meat-lover friends raved about this dish! I prefer mesquite
coals over gas barbeques...however either works fine. Prep
Time: approx. 30 Minutes. Cook Time: approx. 20 Minutes.
Ready in: approx. 50 Minutes. Makes 4 servings.

1 (1 pound) loaf focaccia bread
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 small yellow squash, cut
horizontally into 3/8 inch thic
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 cup sliced red bell peppers
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/8 cup olive oil


Directions
1 In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, and
lemon juice. Set aoli sauce aside in the refrigerator
2 Preheat the grill for high heat.
3 Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush
grate with oil. Place bell pepper and zucchini pieces
closest to the middle of the grill ,and set onion and squash
pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook
for another 3 minutes. The pepper may take a bit longer.
Remove from grill, and set aside.
4 While the vegetables are cooking, cut foccaccia into 4
slices. Spread aoli sauce evenly over top, and sprinkle with
feta cheese. Place on the grill, and cover with lid for
about 2 to 3 minutes. Watch carefully so the bottom doesn't
burn. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the
cheese. Remove from grill, and layer two pieces with
vegetables. Cover with remaining bread. Serve warm
