Yield 6 servings

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (8 to 10-ounce) jar olive paste tapenade
9 ounces store bought pizza dough
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
1/4 pound Pecorino cheese, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper

Separate the ready made/store bought pizza dough into 1 1/2-ounce pieces and roll them out to 1/8-inch (if possible, roll out to desired thickness by using a pasta machine).

ROASTED VEGETABLE AND MOZZARELLA PANINI



Roasted Vegetable and Mozzarella Panini image

From Self.com, "David Burke, of David Burke at Bloomingdale's in New York City, created this savory sandwich that's simple to make and a money saver, too." Instead of using skillets (steps 6 and 7) I used my George Forman grill - worked like a charm! I'm sure you could use a panini press as well!
