DIRECTIONS

1. Make your herby mayo. In a small bowl, combine the vegan mayo, chopped fresh basil, chopped fresh parsley, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to make the herby vegan mayo.

2. Make your panini. Preheat your panini press or a skillet on the stovetop, set to medium heat. Take two slices of sourdough bread and generously spread the herby vegan mayo on one side of each slice. Next, layer the Plant Provisions Chipotle Chili slices, vegan cheddar cheese slices, sliced tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves onto one slice of bread. Top it off with the other slice of bread, mayo side down, to create a complete sandwich. Place the assembled sandwich in the preheated cooking apparatus, ensuring to adjust accordingly if using a skillet by lightly brushing the outer sides of the bread with olive oil or vegan butter. Cook the panini for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, until the bread turns a delightful golden brown, achieving a crispy texture, and the vegan cheese has melted. Once cooked, cautiously remove the panini from the press or skillet, allowing it to cool for a brief moment before slicing it in half. Enjoy the warm, cheesy, and flavorful summer panini!
