[Leftover] Grilled Vegetable Panini Melt

With delicious grilled vegetables leftover from Tuesday's meal, tonight's panini melt is a breeze to throw together.
Smarts: To keep this end-of-the-week meal fast and fun, we love oven fries on the side, but feel free to substitute a simple green salad or roasted broccoli if you'd prefer.

Make

  1. Bake fries according to package directions.

  2. While fries bake, heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat.

  3. Butter one side of all slices of bread. Lay out bread on a sheet pan or cutting board, buttered-side down.

  4. Spread the opposite sides of the bread (the sides now facing up) with green onion aioli. Divide vegetables and cheese between half the slices of bread. Top with remaining slices of bread, buttered-side up.

  5. Place sandwiches on heated surface and cook on both sides until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted, pressing down gently throughout the cooking process. It should take about 4 to 5 minutes per side, but adjust the heat as needed.

  6. Serve panini melts with fries and dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
