Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into ¼ inch slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil + additional olive oil to brush on bread
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup fresh sage, sliced into thin ribbons
- 1 7 ounce container fresh mozzarella, drained and sliced
- 8 thick slices hearty whole-wheat or sourdough bread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Brush the butternut squash slices with olive oil and place them on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 40-45 minutes or until tender and just beginning to brown on edges, turning halfway through cooking time.
- Preheat panini press to medium-high heat.
- Brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil. Divide the squash, mozzarella, and sage evenly onto the non-oiled sides of 4 bread slices. Top with remaining slices of bread and grill until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
