Tomato-Basil-Mozzarella Panini

This is hardly an earth-shattering "recipe"--in fact, it's not a recipe, it's a sandwich, but I thought maybe some of you haven't really tried this type of sandwich before, and of course it leaves lots of room for you to change it. I had a lot of these sandwiches on my trip to Europe this summer, and I have been using my George Foreman grill to make them at home now. (Finally, a good use for it!)

To make one like mine, you will need a sub-roll shaped bread (I use bolillos from HEB, they're 25 cents each), one roma tomato, shredded mozzarella, and basil pesto. Again, HEB's brand of pesto is good, for $3.99.

Slice the tomato and stuff the sandwich how you want it, adding or taking out ingredients, and put the grill on medium heat. Use the lid of the grill to mash the sandwich flat and let it cook through to melt your cheese.
