  5. Layer the sweet potato slices over the greens. Next, add the and red onion. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over everything. Sprinkle the vegan cheese on top, then top with the other two slices of bread.
  6. Gently transfer the sandwiches to the panini press. Grill until the cheese is melted. Transfer the sandwiches back to the cutting board and slice them in half before serving.
