Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium yellow squash
- 2 red bell peppers quartered
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 4 whole wheat ciabatta rolls cut in half crosswise
- ½ cup tomato sauce your favorite kind
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella thinly sliced
- 8 fresh basil leaves thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium heat.
- Cut the zucchini and yellow squash in half crosswise, then cut each into ¼-inch lengthwise slices.
- In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, yellow squash and red bell pepper with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
- Place the vegetables on the grill and cook until tender, about 2 minutes for side for the zucchini and squash, and 3 minutes per side for the red bell pepper.
- Preheat a panini press.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of the tomoato sauce on each cut side of the ciabatta rolls.
- Divide the zucchini, yellow squash and red bell pepper pieces evenly between the 4 rolls. Top with fresh mozzarella and basil, and close the sandwiches.
- Place the sandwiches on the panini press (this may need to be done in two batches). Alternatively, you can lay a heavy pan or foil-covered brick on the sandwiches, on the grill.
- Grill until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. Cut the sandwiches in half and serve.
