Canola oil to brush bread
-
- Place garlic head in small baking cup. Drizzle with 2 tsp (10 mL) canola oil. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 35 – 40 minutes. Let cool and squeeze garlic from papers into a separate small dish.
- Line baking sheet with foil. Transfer prepared vegetables onto foil. Drizzle vegetables with 2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil and toss vegetables to coat. Broil vegetables until vegetables are browned and softened, about 10-12 minutes.
- Spread 4 slices of bread with roasted garlic. Divide one cup grated cheese onto the 4 slices of bread. Continue to build sandwiches with vegetables, top with bacon, drizzle with balsamic reduction, add more cheese and finally the top slices of bread. Brush each sandwich with canola oil. Place on panini press and cook until cheese has melted and bread is nicely browned.
