Tips:

  • For perfectly grilled vegetables, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Cook the vegetables until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • To make the balsamic glaze, simply simmer balsamic vinegar in a saucepan until it thickens and reduces by half. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the vegetables in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Just be sure to preheat the pan before adding the vegetables.
  • You can use any type of bread you like for these sandwiches. Ciabatta, focaccia, and sourdough are all great options.
  • Feel free to add other toppings to your sandwiches, such as arugula, spinach, or roasted red peppers.

Conclusion:

Grilled eggplant and balsamic-glazed portabella mushroom sandwiches are a delicious and easy summer meal. They're perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can be easily customized to your liking. So fire up the grill and enjoy!
