Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the red bell pepper into strips, the zucchini into thin slices lengthwise, and the eggplant into half-inch rounds.
In a bowl, toss the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are tender and have grill marks.
While the vegetables are grilling, lightly brush the gluten-free bread slices on both sides with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Remove the grilled vegetables from the grill and set them aside.
Place the bread slices on the grill and toast for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crisp.
In a small bowl, mix the balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread the balsamic mustard mix on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Layer the grilled vegetables evenly on two slices of the bread. Add cheese slices if desired.
Top with fresh basil leaves, then place the remaining bread slices on top to complete the sandwiches.
Slice in half and serve immediately while still warm.
