How to Make The Perfect Summer Sandwich

  1. Preheat your grill pan to medium-high heat.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the following vegetables in 2 tablespoons of olive oil: 1 red bell pepper (sliced), 1 zucchini (sliced), 1 yellow squash (sliced), 1 medium red onion (sliced), and 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes.
  3. Season generously with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon Herbs de Provence.
  4. Grill the vegetables in batches for 3-5 minutes per side, or until tender and slightly charred. (Tip: For easier grilling, thread onion slices onto skewers.)
  5. While the vegetables grill, split the sandwich rolls lengthwise using a serrated knife. Leave one side of each roll intact for easy handling.
  6. Spread 1 ounce of goat cheese evenly on both sides of each split roll.
  7. Layer several slices of fresh tomato on the bottom half of each roll.
  8. Top with the evenly divided grilled vegetables.
  9. Serve immediately.
