Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini and eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Cut the red bell pepper into strips.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Grill the vegetables for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
While the vegetables cool slightly, toast the bread slices until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lemon juice. Spread the avocado evenly over each slice of toasted bread.
Layer the grilled vegetables on top of the avocado spread, dividing them equally among the bread slices.
Sprinkle each sandwich with crumbled feta cheese and add 2 fresh basil leaves on top for garnish.
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled sandwiches for a tangy finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious open-faced veggie sandwich!
