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

  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.

  2. Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

  3. Drain moisture from vegetable mixture. Brush vegetables with olive oil to coat; season with black pepper.

  4. Cook vegetables on hot grill until tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

  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.
