Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices gluten-free bread
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large portobello mushroom
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 8 slices gluten-free cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds, the red bell pepper into strips, and remove the stem from the portobello mushroom then slice it into thick slabs.
In a bowl, combine the sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly.
Place the vegetables on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. Remove them from the grill and set aside.
Butter each slice of gluten-free bread on one side.
To assemble the sandwiches, place four slices of the bread, buttered side down, on a cutting board or work surface.
Layer each bread slice with grilled vegetables evenly distributed, then place two slices of gluten-free cheese on top of the vegetables.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up, forming a sandwich.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwiches onto the skillet.
Grill each sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and then cut them in half. Serve warm.
