Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2 large red bell peppers roasted and sliced
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper roasted and sliced
Cheese
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese sliced
Bread
  • 8 slices ciabatta bread or any crusty bread
Condiments
  • 4 tbsp pesto or olive oil
  • 1 tsp balsamic vinegar optional
Seasoning
  • to taste salt
  • to taste black pepper

Method
 

Roast the Peppers
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Cut the bell peppers in half, remove seeds, and place them cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes or until the skins are blistered and charred.
Prepare the Sandwich
  1. Remove the roasted peppers from the oven and let them cool slightly. Peel off the skins and slice the peppers.
  2. Spread pesto on one side of each slice of ciabatta bread. Layer the roasted peppers and mozzarella cheese on four slices, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar if using.
  3. Top with the remaining slices of bread, pesto side down.
Grill the Sandwiches
  1. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Grill the sandwiches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serve
  1. Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm.
