Grilled Veggie Sandwiches
Serves 4
This is a great sandwich made ahead and then let the
flavors of the vegetables soak into the Ciabatta.
2 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise about ¼” thick
2 medium yellow squash, sliced lengthwise about ¼”
thick
1 medium eggplant, sliced lengthwise
about ¼” thick
4 scallions cleaned and
trimmed
4 medium portabella mushrooms,
cleaned, stems removed
2 roasted red
peppers peeled and quartered
1/3 cup olive
oil for brushing on the vegetables
Sun-dried
tomato and olive spread (recipe below or your favorite store bought)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Crisp Ciabatta sliced horizontally (lengthwise)
1 cup grated or sliced Fresh Asiago, Black Diamond
Aged Cheddar, or other sharp, dry cheese.
Brush the vegetables with olive oil, sprinkle with
salt and pepper. Grill or broil until tender.
When cooled cut the mushrooms into thin slices
Liberally spread the sun-dried tomato and olive
mixture on each side of the Ciabatta. Layer the vegetable on the bottom
half of the bread. Top with the grated cheese then cover with the top
half of the bread. Press down and wrap tightly with plastic food film or
aluminum foil. If you are not serving immediately, place the sandwich
in the refrigerator with a brick on top. Let marinate overnight.
Before serving: Heat in 350 degree oven in aluminum
foil just long enough to re-crisp bread. Slice vertically and serve.
