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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the sliced vegetables with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Butter each slice of gluten-free bread on one side.
Step 6
To assemble the sandwiches, place four slices of the bread, buttered side down, on a cutting board or work surface.
Step 7
Layer each bread slice with grilled vegetables evenly distributed, then place two slices of gluten-free cheese on top of the vegetables.
Step 8
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up, forming a sandwich.
Step 9
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the sandwiches onto the skillet.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and then cut them in half. Serve warm.
