Introduction

These delicious grilled veggie mozzarella sandwiches are a perfect blend of fresh vegetables and creamy cheese, all toasted to golden perfection. Ideal for a quick lunch or light dinner, they offer a satisfying and healthy meal that’s easy to prepare.

Two grilled sandwiches sit side by side on a white plate, placed on a white marbled surface. Each sandwich has three visible layers: the top and bottom layers are thick slices of toasted, seeded bread with a golden brown color and grill marks. The middle layers show fresh green spinach leaves at the bottom, melted white cheese with slight herbs melting over the leaves, and colorful roasted red and yellow bell peppers along with grilled mushrooms on top. The sandwich looks warm, fresh, and hearty. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 slices of bread (sourdough, whole grain, or your choice)
1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup spinach (fresh)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Butter (for grilling)

Instructions

Step 1: In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add the spinach and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until wilted. If using, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and stir to combine.
Step 2: On each slice of bread, layer the sautéed vegetables and fresh mozzarella cheese. Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add a little butter over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even grilling.
Step 4: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Slice in half and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use whole grain or sourdough bread for added flavor and texture.
Try adding sliced tomatoes or roasted eggplant for extra veggies.
For a vegan version, substitute mozzarella with vegan cheese and use olive oil instead of butter for grilling.
Drizzle a little pesto inside the sandwich for a fresh herbal twist.

Storage

Store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain crispiness, or warm gently in a microwave, though the bread may soften.
