INGREDIENTS
2 slices Whole Grain Bread (approx 70g total)
3 ounces Tempeh (85g)
1 ounce Fresh Mozzarella (28g)
1 cup sliced Eggplant (99g)
1 cup sliced Zucchini (124g)
1 medium Red Bell Pepper (119g)
2 tablespoons Fresh Pesto (30g total)
1 teaspoon Olive Oil (5g)
PREPARATION
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the eggplant, zucchini, and red bell pepper into uniform pieces. Lightly toss the vegetables with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Grill the vegetables for 4-5 minutes per side until they are tender and have nice char marks. Set aside.
Slice the tempeh into 1/4-inch thick pieces and, if desired, marinate briefly in a splash of olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs. Grill the tempeh for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
Toast the whole grain bread slices until lightly crisp.
Spread fresh pesto evenly on both slices of bread.
Assemble the sandwich by layering grilled vegetables, grilled tempeh, and a slice of fresh mozzarella between the toasted bread.
Optional: If desired, return the assembled sandwich to the grill for 1-2 minutes to slightly melt the mozzarella.
