3. Combine liquid eggs and cooked vegetables in a medium bowl. Pour into prepared baking dish and bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Cool. Cut into 8 slices.
4. Spread pesto on bread slices. Cover the bottom slice with a slice of cheese then with egg slice and another slice of cheese. Top with remaining bread, pesto side down.

Tips:
• To use a panini maker, heat and place sandwiches on grill. Cook until bread is crisp and cheese is melted.
