Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain sandwich bread
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 small eggplant
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup hummus
- 0.25 cup feta cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and eggplant into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Brush the vegetable slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Place the vegetables on the grill pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Toast the whole grain sandwich bread slices until golden brown.
Spread a generous layer of hummus over one side of each bread slice.
Layer the grilled vegetables evenly over two of the hummus-covered bread slices.
Sprinkle feta cheese over the vegetables and add a layer of baby spinach leaves.
Top with the remaining slices of bread, hummus-side down, to form sandwiches.
Press down gently and, if desired, grill the sandwiches briefly to warm everything through and slightly melt the cheese.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
