A quick meatless option for busy nights!
I was stretching myself a little bit by trying this recipe because….
- There is no meat in this sandwich and I usually eat meat in my sandwiches.
- There is eggplant in this sandwich and I have never had an eggplant in my sandwiches before.
I always tell my kids, “You don’t have to love it, but you do have to try it”. So, I decided to follow my own advice and give this one a try. I was surprised. I actually really liked these! I mean, I really did!
I stumbled on this recipe when I was on the Aldi’s recipe website and I kind of felt like, “Oh! What do I have to lose? I’ll give these a shot!” …and of course, now I am glad that I did. Zucchini, squash, eggplant, red bell pepper and onion are really good together, turns out! And you can never go wrong with provolone on a sandwich. 🙂
