Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French baguette or ciabatta bread
- 2 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into thin strips.
In a large bowl, toss the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly.
Place the vegetables on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have grill marks. Remove and set aside.
Slice the bread loaf in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Grill the bread, cut-side down, for 2-3 minutes until lightly toasted. Remove from the grill.
Spread butter evenly on the toasted side of the bread halves.
Layer the grilled vegetables on top of the bread evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the vegetables.
Preheat your oven broiler to high. Place the bread on a baking sheet and broil for 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped basil.
Slice into pieces and serve warm.
