For the Sandwich

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Grill: Begin by preheating your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and slice the zucchini, bell pepper, and eggplant into manageable pieces, around 1/4-inch thick. Toss with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  3. Grill Vegetables: Grill the coated vegetables for about 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and lightly charred.
  4. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread pesto on the inner sides of the sourdough slices, layer grilled veggies and mozzarella, and press gently.
  5. Grill Sandwiches: Brush the outer sides with olive oil and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Serve: Let sandwiches rest for a minute before slicing in half and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
