Sweet Potato and Avocado Panini

Aaaahhhhh!!!!  More sweet potatoes and I love them and they are so simple, especially when you cook them in the microwave.  It has been a few crazy days, and I knew that I would need something easy to go to...hence, cook 1 sweet potato for different meals, and you have toms to go around.  So, to get to the point, because this really is just to good to wait for a long story!

Sweet Potato and Avocado Panini

1 Medium Sweet Potato
1/4 Onion sliced
1/4 Avocado sliced
2 Slices of your favorite bread
3 slices Mozzarella Cheese
Oil for sauteing Onion

Wrap the Sweet Potato in plastic wrap and cook in the microwave for 6-8 minutes or until soft.

While the Sweet Potato is cooking, you can cut and prepare the Onion, Avocado and Cheese.

In a small pan, heat oil and place in Onion.  Sautee until the onion turns translucent (I actually used my 'panini' press, which is actually a waffle iron to 'sautee' the onions...super simple and one less thing to clean up)

While the onions and sweet potato are cooking, slice the avocado and cheese.  Place to the side.

Once the Sweet Potato is done, remove from the microwave (caution, will be very hot) and peel and slice.

Remove the onions from the pan or panini maker.

One one slice of bread, place the sliced sweet potato, avocado, grilled onions and cheese.  Place the other piece of sliced bread on top.

Place into panini press and cook until golden brown.

Remove, cut in half and enjoy by itself or with a side of salad if you are looking to add more greens.
