I was lucky enough to recently receive an assortment of breads from Cobblestone Bread Co., and I knew just what I wanted to make my first "summer sandwich" with.
These mini grinder rolls are perfect for grilled sandwiches - they're sturdy enough to hold up to a run over the grill, as well as a pile of toppings. And they're sized just right for an individual serving, so I can pull out as many or few as I need.
You can follow the recipe below, but feel free to use it more as a guideline - it's summer after all; who wants rules?
Ingredients
- 1 yellow squash, trimmed and sliced lengthwise into 3-4 thick slices
- 1 red onion, ends trimmed and cut into 3-4 thick "rings" (see note below for grilling onions)
- 1 orange pepper, trimmed, halved, seeds and ribs removed
- fresh mozzarella, sliced
- fresh basil, cut in "chiffonade"
- red leaf lettuce leaf
- 2 Cobblestone Bread Co. Wheat Grinder Rolls
- extra virgin olive oil
Directions
- Pre-heat grill; line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil. Place vegetables on your prepared baking sheet; brush both sides with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill vegetables, turning occasionally, till tender and charred - about 5-7 minutes for the squash, 8-10 minutes for the pepper and 12-15 minutes for the onion rings. Return vegetables to your baking sheet.
- While veggies are grilling slice the rolls in half; brush each half with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place, cut sides down, on the grill - remove when golden brown.
- Assemble your sandwiches: place a lettuce leaf on one half of each roll, followed by the mozzarella slices, veggies and basil. Top with the remaining halves of the rolls and serve.
Note: to grill onions without the rings falling through the grates, skewer the "rings" as shown, using metal or wooden skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for a bit to prevent them from scorching on the grill).
