Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients:

  • 4 slices of rustic sourdough bread
  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • Optional: Pesto for spreading

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Veggies: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, combine zucchini, red bell pepper, eggplant, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss until the vegetables are well-coated.
  2. Grill the Vegetables: Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove them from the grill and set aside.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out the slices of sourdough bread on a clean surface. If desired, spread a thin layer of pesto on each slice. On two slices, layer grilled zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, fresh spinach, and slices of mozzarella cheese. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich.
  4. Grill the Sandwiches: Lightly brush olive oil on the outer sides of the sandwiches. Return the sandwiches to the grill or grill pan over medium heat. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the mozzarella has melted.
  5. Serve: Once grilled, remove the sandwiches from heat. Allow them to rest for a minute before slicing in half. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve warm with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can customize these sandwiches by adding or substituting your favorite grilled veggies.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese or omit the cheese altogether.
