Grilled Vegetable Baguette

If there is ever that perfect combination of vegetables, you will find it here stacked in a Grilled Vegetable Baguette.  Packed full of Mediterranean flavour, this makes a scrumptious open sandwich.

There are basically just three types of vegetables used in this recipe, eggplant, zucchini, and sweet red and green bell peppers. A lot of the flavour comes from the seasoned oil which is used to brush or rub on to the vegetables. The rosemary and mixed herb infused olive oil gives these vegetables immense flavour. So do not be shy with the amount of this seasoned oil you brush onto the veggies....it makes it taste amazing.

The eggplant and zucchini are grilled on a pan on the stove top, but the peppers are placed in the oven to grill. It is grilled in the oven until the skin is softened and then placed in a plastic bag to sweat, it makes it easier to remove the peel. I just leave the peel, because I like the glossy look it has. But you can choose to do which you prefer.

I use my grill pan to cook these vegetables, but you can use a heavy pan if you do not have a grill pan. Try not to overcook the vegetables, otherwise it will be limp and soggy, which is not a good idea at all. Just cook it until it is tender and cooked.

Layer the cooked vegetables on the baguette slices, top with a slice of cheese close your eyes, take a bite and imagine yourself relaxing on a beautiful Mediterranean island chomping down on one of these sandwiches and There you go Christmas dream holiday sorted!?
