⅛ cup chopped basil
1 cup Cabot Seriously Sharp Shredded Cheddar
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 10 mins | Total: 15 mins

HEAT grill to medium-high.

SLICE zucchini and yellow summer squash length-wise into ⅛ to ¼-inch slices. Season both sides with olive oil, salt and pepper.

PLACE on grill and cook on each side for 2 – 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

DRIZZLE olive oil on both sides of the sliced bread.

PLACE bread slices on the grill for 2 – 3 minutes on each side or until toasted and grill marks form.

REDUCE grill temperature to low and place ¼ cup of shredded cheese on each piece of bread. Close grill cover and cook the bread until the cheese has melted, 2 – 3 minutes. Remove and place on a serving platter.

CHOP grilled zucchini and squash into 1-inch pieces and top each piece of grilled bread with the vegetables until covered.

ADD a sprinkle of chopped basil, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
