Method

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow squash, eggplant, and red onion into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Grill the Vegetables

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Toss the sliced vegetables in a bowl with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until they are tender and have nice grill marks.

Pesto Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine fresh basil, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the ingredients are coarsely chopped. While the processor is running, gradually add olive oil until the pesto reaches a smooth consistency.

Sandwich Assembly

  1. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Toast the whole grain bread slices lightly. Spread a generous amount of pesto on one side of each slice of bread. Layer the grilled vegetables on top of the pesto, followed by slices of fresh mozzarella cheese. Top with another slice of bread, pesto side down.

  2. 5

    Grill the Sandwich

    Place the assembled sandwiches on the grill or a grill pan. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
