- Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Spray a medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray, add onions and peppers.
- Cook until slightly tender, about 2 minutes.
- Add zucchini and cook until soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- (If the vegetables start to stick to the pan, add a touch of olive oil or chicken stock.)
- Slice baguette horizontally, and carefully pull out the center of the bread so its hollow and you have basically just the crust of the bread.
- Add pesto to both the insides of the bread and top with vegetables, tomato slices and top with cheese.
- Place in a broiler on the lower shelf and cook until the cheese is melted, about 4 minutes.
