DIRECTIONS

  • Brush inside of cut bread halves with blended olive oil and garlic. Broil or grill cut bread halves until golden brown. Keep warm.
  • Grill peppers and onions in olive oil. Sprinkle with basil, salt, and pepper; stir and keep warm.
  • Grill steak slices on hot grill 2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly cooked; keep warm.
  • Blend eggs, salt, and lemon-pepper.** Cook and scramble eggs in small batches, as needed, until firm throughout with no visible liquid egg remaining. Keep warm.
  • To serve, portion about 1-1/2 oz. steak and 1/2 cup cooked eggs on each bottom half of cut panini. Top with 2 slices cheese and 1/4 cup grilled vegetables. Cover with top half of panini. Cut each sandwich in half for two servings. Serve immediately.

*If using frozen or liquid whole egg product.

**Refrigerate if not using immediately.

Note: Do not let uncooked egg mixture remain at room temperature for longer than one hour (including preparation and service time).

Sandwich Press Variation: Brush only outside bread halves with olive oil-garlic blend. Follow steps 2 and 3. Blend eggs in 2-egg (1.7 oz.) portions, seasoning to taste with salt and lemon-pepper; cook omelet-style, in 8-inch omelet pan until firm throughout with no visible liquid egg remaining. Fold omelet in half before transferring to bread. Assemble sandwiches as directed in step 5, substituting omelet for 1/2 cup cooked eggs, keeping brushed bread halves on outside. Grill on sandwich press on low setting about 5 minutes or until browned and cheese is melted.

Contribution to School Lunch Program: Each serving provides 2.4 oz. meat/meat alternate, 1-1/2 bread servings provided rolls are enriched, 1/8 cup vegetable.
