A delicious vegetarian sandwich made with freshly grilled zucchini, eggplant, red bell pepper, fresh mozzarella, plum tomato, and basil pesto in a whole-grain baguette.
Ingredients
- ½ zucchini, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
- ½ small eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 red bell pepper, quartered
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 small whole-grain baguette, cut into two halves and split lengthwise
- ¼ cup basil pesto
- 4 ounces fresh baby mozzarella, sliced
- 2 plum tomatoes, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Combine zucchini, eggplant, and red bell pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle salt over the mixture. Set aside to allow the vegetables to tenderize, at least 3 hours.
Step 2
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
Step 3
Drain moisture from vegetable mixture. Brush vegetables with olive oil to coat; season with black pepper.
Step 4
Cook vegetables on hot grill until tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
Step 5
Toast cut sides of baguette in a toaster oven until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread basil pesto evenly over toasted surface. Arrange grilled vegetables evenly onto 2 of the baguette halves. Top each with sliced mozzarella and plum tomato slices; top sandwich with the remaining baguette pieces to serve.
