(WFRV) – Have you ever cooked with potato bread? Chef Jyll from Gather on Broadway shares a delicious recipe for vegetarian panini.
Butternut Squash Panini with Hazelnut Butter (makes 4 sandwiches)
1 lb butternut squash, peeled and diced into 1 inch cubes
1 Tbs maple syrup or brown sugar
2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced thinly
1/4 cup hazelnuts, chopped
1/4 cup unsalted butter
6 sage leaves, chopped
8 slices Sara Lee Potato Bread
Olive oil spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle squash with maple syrup, olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper. Spread on a foil lined baking sheet in a single layer and roast until softened and fork tender. Remove from oven and once cool enough, smash together with a fork. Set aside.
In a small, dry sauté pan, toast the hazelnuts until lightly golden. Add the butter and sage and cook together for one minute. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside to cool.
Lay mozzarella slices on 4 pieces of Sara Lee Potato Bread. Spread 1-2 Tbs hazelnut butter over the mozzarella, then top with squash . Top the squash with another piece of bread. Lightly spray both sides of the sandwich with olive oil spray and grill in a panini machine (or stovetop) until golden. Serve immediately.
