125 ml (1/2 cup) store-bought eggplant marinated in oil, drained
Marinated hot pepper rings, to taste (optional)
16 leaves fresh basil
1 red onion, finely chopped
PREPARATION
Slice each panini bun horizontally. Garnish the inside with slices of fresh mozzarella. Add the tomato, dried pepperoni, eggplant, hot pepper rings and fresh basil.
In a frying pan with a striated base or on a panini press, heat the buns for 6 to 8 minutes or until crispy and golden, or until the cheese melts completely. Serve immediately.
