MEDITERRANEAN VEGGIE SANDWICH
This could be a copy cat recipe for Panera Bread's Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich, however, this is a little lower in calories and fat with the few changes I've done. I suggest using a dense thicker bread for this sandwich, it holds up better. You can substitute your favorite flavor of hummus.

Tips:
- Grill the vegetables: Grilling the vegetables adds a smoky flavor and helps to caramelize them, giving them a delicious taste.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more variety of vegetables you use, the more flavorful and colorful your sandwich will be. Some good options include zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and less flavorful. Cook them until they are just tender.
- Use a good quality bread: A good quality bread will make your sandwich more enjoyable. Look for a bread that is sturdy enough to hold the vegetables and sauce, but not too thick.
- Spread a flavorful sauce on the bread: A flavorful sauce will help to bring all of the flavors of the sandwich together. Some good options include pesto, hummus, or tzatziki.
- Add some cheese: Cheese is a great way to add richness and flavor to your sandwich. Some good options include feta, mozzarella, or goat cheese.
- Top with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will add a pop of color and flavor to your sandwich. Some good options include basil, oregano, or thyme.
Conclusion:
The Mediterranean veggie sandwich is a delicious, healthy, and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. Grilling the vegetables and using a variety of fresh ingredients creates a flavorful and satisfying sandwich that is sure to please everyone at your table.
