Zucchini ai Quattro Formaggi Panini
Griddler
®
Position: Closed
Selector: Grill/Panini
Plate Side: Grill
Makes 4 servings
10 ounces shredded zucchini
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces shredded fresh mozzarella
2 ounces shredded fontina
2 ounces shredded sharp provolone
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmiagiano-Reggiano or Asiago
1 teaspoon dried basil
8 slices crusty country bread (about 8 x 4 x ½ inches)
4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Put the shredded zucchini into a colander and toss with salt. Let stand for 20 minutes. After 20
minutes, rinse and press out as much liquid as possible. Place in a clean tea towel and squeeze
until no more liquid is released. Put into a medium bowl with the four cheeses and the basil. Toss
gently to combine. You should have about 3 cups.

Lightly brush one side of each slice of bread with olive oil. Place 4 slices of bread on the work
surface, oiled side down. Divide the shredded zucchini and cheese mixture evenly among the 4
slices of bread – making as even a layer as possible. Top with the remaining sliced bread, oiled
side up.
When Griddler

Lower cover and apply light pressure to handle for about 30 seconds. Grill panini for 3½ to 4
minutes. Remove to a rack and keep warm in preheated oven. Grill remaining 2 sandwiches in the
same way. Cut in half on the diagonal to serve.
