Description
A delicious Grilled Veggie Sandwich featuring fresh mozzarella and a tangy balsamic glaze, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 medium yellow squash, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 small red onion, sliced into rings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.
- While the vegetables are grilling, toast the bread slices on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Assemble the sandwiches by layering the grilled vegetables on two slices of toasted bread. Top with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over the cheese and add fresh basil leaves. Top with the remaining slices of toasted bread.
- If desired, return the assembled sandwiches to the grill for an additional 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
- Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the vegetables in balsamic vinegar for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Substitute the mozzarella with goat cheese or feta for a different taste profile.
