LOW FAT CLUB PANINI
I got the inspiration for this sandwich from Recipe #152596 from Pets'R'us, but this is a more "low fat" rendition of it. I find also if you heat the bottom of a medium sized skillet, place it on top of the sandwich, and place a tin foil wrapped brick in the pan on top, it will press it just as well as a George Foreman Grill.

- Heat oven to 450° F. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil, and spray with cooking spray.

Let steam 5 minutes, then transfer to cutting board. Cut off top of bell pepper, then use sharp knife to scrape blackened skin from flesh. Cut flesh into 1-inch strips.
