Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and eggplant into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and ground black pepper to create a marinade.
Toss the sliced vegetables in the marinade until evenly coated.
Grill the vegetables for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are tender and lightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Slice the ciabatta loaf into 4 equal portions, then split each portion horizontally to create 8 pieces of bread.
Brush the cut sides of the ciabatta bread lightly with olive oil and grill for 1-2 minutes, or until golden and toasted.
Assemble the dish by layering the grilled vegetables on top of the toasted ciabatta bread.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the vegetables for added flavor.
Garnish each slice with fresh basil leaves before serving.
