Ingredients

  • 8 (3/4-inch-thick) slices eggplant
  • 4 (1/4-inch-thick) slices sweet onion
  • 1 medium zucchini, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (8-oz.) can pizza sauce
  • 8 (1/2-inch-thick) slices Italian or sourdough bread, toasted
  • 4 (1 1/2-oz.) slices mozzarella cheese

Steps

  • 1
    Heat grill. When ready to grill, brush eggplant, onion and zucchini with oil; sprinkle with salt. Place on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until tender, turning once.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, heat pizza sauce in small saucepan until hot.
  • 3
    Spread 1 side of each of 4 toasted bread slices with 2 tablespoons pizza sauce. Top each with grilled vegetables. Spoon remaining pizza sauce over vegetables. Top each with cheese and slice of toast.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Select eggplant that has a smooth peel with no blemishes or soft spots. A small young eggplant has a tender peel that doesn't require removal.
  • tip 2
    To reduce the fat in each serving of these sandwiches by about 9 grams, use reduced-fat mozzarella cheese and omit the olive oil. Instead, spritz the vegetables with olive oil-flavor or regular nonstick cooking spray.
  • tip 3
    Toast the bread on the grill, watching it carefully and turning once, until it is light golden brown.
  • tip 4
    These sandwiches make nice melts. Arrange them on a sheet of heavy-duty foil and place it on the grill. Close the grill and heat it just until the cheese is melted.
