Meatless Days

Made this fantastic meatless sandwich on Monday, our meatless day of the week.  With temperatures so hot lately (well it is summer!) I look for satisfying meals for my family that I don't have to break a sweat making.

It is eggplant slices, red pepper, sauteed onions with a spread of pesto on one side of the toasted bread and softened goat cheese on the other!  So delicious and easy.

You can grill your eggplant and red peppers (removing the skin on the peppers) But the easiest thing to do is broil the veggies in your oven (watching carefully not to burn) Turning the eggplant slices after 4-5 minutes.  Do not turn the peppers, they will take a little longer. When you have a char on your peppers, take them out and put in a ziploc bag for abouit 15 minutes to steam the skins off and remove any seeds.*  Peel the skins away and begin assembling your sandwich.  I used sliced sourdough bread, however, you can use whatever bread you choose. Toast the bread in the oven on one side.

Spread prepared pesto on one slice.   Layer your eggplant, onions, and red peppers on top.  Spread goat cheese on the other bread slice and top for each sandwich.   Salt and pepper to taste.

So good!
