Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small eggplant, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Balsamic glaze (optional)
  • 8 slices ciabatta or sourdough bread
  • 2 tbsp butter or olive oil for grilling the bread

Instructions

  1. Slice the zucchini, bell pepper, eggplant, and red onion into thin strips.
  2. Toss the sliced vegetables in olive oil, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Grill the vegetables over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side until tender and slightly charred.
  4. Slice the bread and brush the outer sides with butter or olive oil.
  5. Layer grilled vegetables, mozzarella slices, and fresh basil leaves between two slices of bread.
  6. Grill the assembled sandwiches on a skillet or panini press for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese has melted.

Notes

  • Use hearty bread like ciabatta or sourdough for best texture.
  • Roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes can add extra flavor.
  • Swap mozzarella with goat cheese or provolone for variation.
  • Add grilled tofu or tempeh for extra protein.
  • To avoid soggy sandwiches, drain excess moisture from veggies before assembling.
