Ok, I know that I am probably the only person at my job that gets super exited about eating my lunch. But it really is my favorite time of the day! I’m kind of a food freak, I mean fanatic, so I make an event out of lunch everyday. Lunch for me is never a quickie and unless I am extremely busy I don’t like eating in my office either. I don’t even like using paper plates; to me it’s not just about the food, it’s about the whole experience, making the food look really presentable, then sitting down and savoring every tasty bite. Today I had to assemble my lunch at work. I do this pretty often so most people are used to me using the stove top or the oven to make my lunch. I made the most delicious veggie sandwich today. I had some leftover grilled vegetables from another dinner and I was kind of short on time the night before so I decided to just throw something quick and easy together for today’s lunch. Today I just ate the sandwich with a few slices of tomatoes. But I think a perfect pairing would have been a small cup of soup, maybe tomato basil, or you could have it a three bean or pasta salad.
Here’s the recipe I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.
Ingredients
1 Ciabatta Roll
1 Tablespoon of Prepared Pesto Sauce
2 Hefty Slices of Fresh Mozzarella Cheese (or a few tablespoons of shredded)
4 Thin Slices of Beefsteak or Roma Tomatoes
4 Thin Slices of Grilled Zucchini
2 to 3 Tablespoons of Sautéed onions, mushrooms and red bell peppers
Directions
Turn your oven’s broiler on high. Slice the bread and toast it until light brown in color. Place the bread on a sheet pan and spread the pesto on one side of the bread and place the mozzarella cheese on top. Place the vegetables on the other side of the bread. Place the sheet pan in the oven a few inches away from the broiler. Keep the oven door slightly open and toast the sandwich until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
