Fried Egg And Cheese Panini With Veggies Recipe
Fried egg and cheese panini with veggies is a lovey refreshing summer recipe for vegetarian sandwiches. The toasted crunchy bread combined with melted cheese (and other flavors) is delicious. I know you will love this simple recipe for panini sandwiches using a panini press or tinfoil and frying pan.
You can make these vegetarian sandwiches with or without a panini press grill. It’s actually quite simple and I’m going to give you the instructions for both methods. However, let’s first get into the panini press grill and how to use it!
The word panini is Italian for “small bread, bread rolls.” A panini press grill is an electric appliance that creates a contact grill with a fixed heated bottom. It also uses a heated top plate that closes down. It’s an easy to use affordable cooking appliance for making dishes like this recipe for panini sandwiches.
Vegetarian sandwiches make amazing paninis especially with yummy melted gooey cheese. Paninis are defined as sandwiches served warmed by grilling or toasting. This can be achieved without a grill press also. For example I like the foil method because it keeps the fixins inside the sub better!

This particular vegetarian sandwich only requires the following simple ingredients. The ingredients include 4 large eggs, 1 cup sliced sweet peppers, and 1/2 cup thinly diced white onion.
