We got a new electric grill recently and it is absolutely perfect for paninis (a Keeley family favorite). Katie is my budding chef and decided to try her hand at panini making. She came up with this yummy concoction and we all just loved it! You can always add chicken or a meat substitute to the sandwich to add more protein. Do you have a delicious panini recipe? Send it to me - I’d love to check it out!

1 sliced yellow onion
1 8 oz. package slice baby portobello mushrooms
1 tsp. fresh thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup low fat mayonnaise
8 slices Italian bread
8 slices Swiss cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Heat large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Coat with olive-oil flavored cooking spray. Add onions, cook 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook one minute and remove pan from heat. Spread 1/2 tbsp. mayo on one side of each bread slice and top with a slice of cheese, mushroom mixture and second bread slice. Coat sandwiches with cooking spray. Place them on grill and cook until golden and cheese melts (3 to 4 minutes).
