Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 small eggplant
- 2 large portobello mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 0.25 cup hummus
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant into half-inch thick slices. Remove the stems of the portobello mushrooms and slice them as well.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss the vegetables to coat them evenly with the mixture.
Place the vegetables on the preheated grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until they have grill marks and are tender. Remove from grill and set aside.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side until crispy.
Spread a thin layer of goat cheese on two slices of bread and a layer of hummus on the other two slices.
To assemble the sandwich, layer grilled vegetables and baby spinach on the slices with goat cheese, then top with the hummus-coated slices.
Slice the sandwiches in half and serve warm.
