Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
For the Sandwich
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough, whole grain, or your choice)
- Butter, for grilling
Seasoning and Extras
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: 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 5–7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Add the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until wilted. If using, drizzle with balsamic vinegar and stir to combine.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: On each slice of bread, layer the sautéed vegetables and fresh mozzarella cheese. Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich.
- Grill the Sandwiches: 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.
- Serve: 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 and enjoy your delicious grilled veggie mozzarella sandwiches!
Notes
- You can substitute mozzarella with another melting cheese like provolone or cheddar if preferred.
- For extra flavor, add sliced tomatoes or caramelized onions to the sandwich.
- Using sturdy bread like sourdough helps prevent sogginess when grilling.
- If you want a vegan option, replace mozzarella with a plant-based cheese and use olive oil instead of butter for grilling.
- Adjust seasoning and balsamic vinegar according to your taste preferences.
