Grilled Eggplant, Zucchini and Mushroom Sandwich #SundaySupper
Grilled Eggplant, Zucchini and Mushroom Sandwich |
The first time I made my husband a veggie sandwich I was a little apprehensive. But that quickly changed once he declared it one of the best sandwiches he’s ever had. You see he loves sandwiches of all kinds especially meat laden ones with lots of extra goodies, so this was a fairly big compliment. Anyway, I have made this sandwich many ways, one of my favorites is this combo and the other is an eggplant variation which I have posted before. If you decide to make this, have fun choosing the veggies, cheese options, and bread type.
The beauty is that you can grill or roast your favorite combo of veggies all at the same time. During the summer we grill to keep the heat out of the house. The trick to have evenly cooked veggies is to sear your vegetables over high heat, then move the faster cooking veggies to the cooler part of the grill as the others finish up.
It’s a Sunday Supper post again. And this time it’s all about sandwiches, just in time for the month of August which happens to be National Sandwich Month! Please be sure and check the links below to see what everyone else in the Sunday Supper club has brought to the table. Many thanks to our event manager, Em Beitel of Life Tastes Good. Thank you Em!

DeleteVegetables are my favorite food group, so it's awesome you made a sandwich focused on them. Nice that mushrooms add that heartiness.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura, veggies are mine too!
DeleteYour sandwich does look and sound yummy! How lovely to grill your veggies outside...Bit of a challenge living in an apartment. (Maybe when and if we move to Colorado.) Anyway, the husband test is always the ultimate test, isn't it?
ReplyDeletethanks Kim, yes it sure is, because we do not always like the same things;)
DeleteOh, boy, this does look like a winner! Love the roasted veggies and feta combo!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz!

ReplyDeleteHi David, I bet both would be good.....

ReplyDeleteThanks Caroline, I really enjoyed this one!
DeleteI LOVE this kind of sandwich and have made something similar in the past. Thanks for the reminder of what a great meal this can be! Beautiful and delicious = perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tricia, love this combo!
DeleteThat looks amazing Cheri! We have lots of eggplant in the garden right now so I've been looking for ways to use them. I love everything about this sandwich!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris, I've been on a zucchini and eggplant kick the last few weeks;)
DeleteGrilled veggies are so great in summer. I love the touch of tapenade too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy!
DeleteYour sandwich looks delicious, Cheri! I definitely want to try it and maybe this would convert my hubby to eggplant. Grilled veggies and feta, a winning combination. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you never know, Lol, thanks Pam!
DeleteI love a good sandwich and we grill lots of veggies when we do cook outside. I never thought to make a sandwich out of it. Sounds great with the balsamic vinegar! It's just simple, delicious food.
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica, we grill a lot of veggies too! (my husband really does the grilling)
DeleteThis sandwich looks delicious! I really enjoy hearty vegetarian meals like this, especially in the summer. We all need zucchini recipes this time of year, too, haha.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth, so far I am keeping up with all the zucchini. Thanks Amy!
DeleteI make a similar sandwich. I use pesto instead of the olive oil and add rocket leaves.
ReplyDeleteAmalia
xo
Thanks Amalia, I would love that combo too!!!
DeleteI am absolutely drooling over this sandwich.
ReplyDeleteThe sandwich looks delicious. I love all the grilled veggies.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm growing both zucchini and eggplant this summer I must try this! It sounds wonderful, Cheri!
ReplyDeleteI adore eggplant, Cheri. But for some reason I just don't cook it often enough. This sandwich looks divine! Between the eggplant and the mushrooms, who needs any meat?! Nice! :)
ReplyDeleteI love zucchini so much, but never considered it in a sandwich! My husband however, does not share my love of it! Next time he is gone for dinner, I have to make this!
