No need for takeout when you can make our delicious Roasted Red Pepper Panini right at home. Country Crock® Spread, basil, and garlic make a creamy pesto that gives this sandwich so much fabulous flavor. We love the combination of spinach, roasted red pepper, and mozzarella, but feel free to experiment with your favorite ingredients.
