Sweet Potato and Avocado Panini with Honey Mustard Spread

This sandwich's secret ingredient is sweet potato, and the result is delicious. The recipe is super easy.

Makes 2 servings.

Ingredients:
1 sweet potato cut into 1-inch-thick slices on a bias
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp honey mustard
1 tbsp light mayonnaise
4 slices whole wheat bread or challah
1 T butter or margarine (I use Smart Balance)
4 red onion slices, cut 1/8-inch thick
1/2 small avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
4 tomato slices, cut 1/4-inch thick
sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

Drizzle sweet potato slices with olive oil and roast in 450 oven until tender and slightly brown. Whisk together honey mustard and mayonnaise in a small bowl.

Llightly butter one side of 2 pieces of bread and place on grill pan (or regular frying pan if you don't have one). Spread the other side with half the mustard mixture, then place half of the onion, avocado, and tomato slices on top of each slice; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Add a layer of sweet potato slices, cheese and basil. Top with remaining bread and butter the outer side. Turn burner on to medium heat and grill until nice and brown. Turn over and grill on other side until cheese is melted.

Slice each sandwich in half, securing each half with a toothpick. Serve with sliced dill pickles and a handful of baked chips.
