Ingredients:
-
1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
-
1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
-
1 red bell pepper, sliced
-
1/4 cup pesto
-
4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
-
4 slices crusty bread (ciabatta, sourdough, etc.)
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:

Prep Veggies: Toss the zucchini, eggplant, and bell pepper slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Griddle On: Preheat your griddle or a grill pan to medium-high heat.
-
Grill the Vegetables: Grill the vegetables in batches, cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until tender and lightly charred. Remove and set aside.
-
Assemble: Spread pesto on one side of two bread slices. Top with grilled vegetables and mozzarella cheese slices. Place the remaining two slices of bread on top.

More Oil: Brush the outside of the sandwiches with the remaining olive oil.
-
Grill the Panini: Place the sandwiches on the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown, crispy, and the cheese is melted. You might want to weigh down the sandwiches with a heavy pan to get good grill marks.
