Directions
Preheat & Prep
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat and oil the grill if necessary. Drizzle the zucchini, pepper, and onion with a spoonful or two of oil, then sprinkle the dried oregano, garlic powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.Grill the Veggies
Place the veggies on the grill and cook for 3-6 minutes per side, until nicely browned on each side. The zucchini will cook faster than the peppers and onions.Assemble the Panini
Mix together the mayonnaise and pesto until smooth. Spread a spoonful or so of the pesto mayo onto each slice of bread. On top of the pesto mayo, lay 2 slices of cheese. Follow with the grilled vegetables and top with another slice of bread, pesto mayo side down. Repeat with the other two slices of bread and veggies.Grill the Panini
Oil the grill again if necessary. Place the sandwiches on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until browned and the cheese is melting. Remove from heat and serve while hot!
