The Mediterranean Veggie Panini is a delightful sandwich that originated in the Mediterranean region, known for its vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients. This vegetarian delight typically features a combination of grilled vegetables such as zucchini, eggplant, and bell peppers, complemented by creamy feta cheese, tangy olives, and aromatic herbs like basil and oregano.
