1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas
mark 6.

2. Wash the spinach, cut into shreds then
put into a large pan and place on the hob.
Cook over a high heat, stirring for 3-4
minutes until the spinach has wilted. Turn
into a sieve and press out any excess water.
Season the spinach with a little salt and
freshly ground black pepper.

3. Split the panini or if using ciabatta, cut in
half to make four portions then split and
open out. Drizzle a little oil over the cut side
of the base. Divide the spinach between
them.

4. Dry the peppers on a piece of kitchen
paper then cut the peppers into thin strips
and lay on top.

5. Cut the Applewood® cheese into thin
slices and lay on top of the peppers. Cover
with the top of the panini. Wrap in foil and
place in the oven for 15 minutes or until the
cheese has melted.
