Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. On a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, toss broccoli with oil; season with salt and pepper. Broil, tossing once or twice, until broccoli begins to char, 4 to 6 minutes.
Add mushrooms and bell peppers to sheet; season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Broil, tossing once or twice, until vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes more; set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Place bread on a work surface. Dividing evenly, spread with mayonnaise mixture, and top with vegetables, then cheese. Place on baking sheet, and broil until cheese is melted and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes.
This recipe is great as is, but also works really well as an appetizer. Just chop the toppings into smaller pieces, and serve on baguette slices or small pita quarters. I also grill on my pizza stone rather than the baking sheet for nice, crusty bread.
This was awesome! I follow the recipe exactly, except when they are done I like to drizzle them with balsamic vinegar. This is my family's favorite meat-free lunch!
This is so delicious; I've made it for years!
I'm a vegetarian and have been making this since I first saw it in the EVERYDAY FOODS magazine. I usually use Swiss cheese, though, because it's more convenient. Still tastes great!
This was so good! Everyone loved it. I especially enjoyed the broiled veggies and cheese on top.
Love the broiling. I just fallowed the instructions but used parchment paper on a cookie sheet. So easy. I added some old bay to the veggies and used goat cheese instead of gouda. You could add some prosciutto too:) I used gluten free french rolls and toasted them!!!!! Yum!!!!

We weren't that crazy about this. My husband said too much garlic. It actually tasted better the next day when I warmed it up in the oven--the crisper bread seemed to make a big difference. I followed the recipe exactly. A nice light meal, but not memorable in my humble opinion.
Last night's dinner! Very good, very easy ~ even the 9 yr old ate it! A great way to get the veggies in!!! Easy Peasy!
This was SO GOOD. Best thing I've made in a long time. I added a little pesto to the bread along with the pesto garlic mixture.
This is really tasty and easy! Broiling the vegetables really brought out their flavor.
wow! the broiler is the easiest way to go :-)) doesnt take up space on my counter...needs no cleaning since I use foil in my oven,,holds more than my toaster oven in the event that I am cooking for more than just me...just turn it on and watch it do the job :-)))) the broccoli stalks are great for soups and stews and even stir fries but do require peeling before using. To each their own, of course, but I love this idea. Thank you Marsha :-))))
Awesome!!! Used baby bella mushrooms.
I like the broiler. I don't have enough counter space for a toaster oven.
very very yummy!!! I Ioved the taste! Do not skip broiling the vegetables. It gives the broccoli an excellent taste. Will make this again.
One of the tastiest, easiest to make and very light recipes I have ever gotten from Martha. Unlike one other person who tried it, I did not find it too time consuming, and the roasting process gives a different flavor and texture than sauteing. Instead of whole broccoli heads, I bought either bagged florets, or selected some from the grocery salad bar. Found a great whole wheat panini at Bloom. I also do the last broil on my pizza stone.
Who comes up with these recipes? This could very easily be done in a frying pan and then topped off in a toaster oven - who has time to mess around with a broiler?
After paying an arm and a leg for the broccoli, what are we supposed to use the stalks for?The idea is good and tastes great - after a few personal touches - but the methodology needs revamping. Get a clue, Martha.
