Instructions

  1. Bring mozzarella slices almost to room temperature while preparing vegetables.
  2. Brush eggplant, pepper, onion and zucchini with oil and vinegar, reserving any extra mixture. On outdoor grill or grill pan over medium heat grill vegetables for 5 minutes and turn. Grill on other side, removing each as it becomes tender. Lightly grill bread on one side; top each plain side of bread with a slice of cheese.
  3. Assemble sandwiches by layering vegetables and drizzle with any remaining oil and vinegar. Sprinkle with basil and top with bread with mozzarella side down.
