The peppers in this pressed sandwich are hearty and might just take the place of the meat.

Ingredients:2 ripe avocados, peeled and mashed4 slices thick, Italian-style bread4 slices provolone cheese, divided6 ounces roasted red peppers, divided3-4 tablespoons softened butter or vegetable spread, divided1/4 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepperDirections:- If using a panini press, preheat it to 375 degrees F and set it to medium-high.Lay out all four of your bread slices and spread one side of each slice with the butter or vegetable spread.On a plate, flip over two slices of bread so the butter is on the bottom of the plate.Add the salt and pepper to the mashed avocado and mix well.Divide the avocado evenly and spread it on the bread.Lay the roasted red peppers over the avocado, then top with two slices of provolone cheese per sandwich.Top with the remaining slices of bread so the buttered side is on the outside of the sandwich.If you're using a panini press, add the sandwiches to the griddle and close the press. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts and the bread is toasted on both sides.If you're using your own press method with the two skillets as described above, cook your sandwiches for about five minutes, flipping once, so both sides are golden and toasted and the cheese is melted.
A flattened — and delicious — sandwich is great on a Meatless Monday!
