Scale
- 4 ready-made panini rolls
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) mozzarella, grated or sliced
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) feta cheese, sliced or crumbled
- 1/2 bell pepper (1/4 orange and 1/4 yellow), sliced
- Handful (8-12) Kalamata olives, pitted
- 1 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat your panini grill according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Split each panini roll in half lengthwise.
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Layer the feta cheese on top of the mozzarella.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and Kalamata olives over the feta cheese.
- Sprinkle with dried oregano for added flavor.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Place the top halves of the rolls over the fillings to close the sandwiches.
- Grill the panini for 5-7 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Notes
- Tomatoes can be added, but they retain heat and may be too hot for children.
- If you don’t have Kalamata olives, any other type of olives can be used.
- The panini grill can be replaced with a stovetop grill pan or a regular skillet, pressing the sandwich with a heavy pan.
