This toasted roasted veggie and brie sandwich will make you forget all about the meat! Not only will you eat your veggies, but you’ll beg for more! This hearty, meat free sandwich is loaded with roasted vegetables and creamy brie cheese!
Brie Cheese
I’m not going to lie, you could melt brie cheese on your shoe and it would be delicious! It has a creamy, buttery texture that melts beautifully! Don’t make the mistake of cutting off the outer edge. There is a ton of flavor in the rind.
Roasting the Veggies
Slice some zucchini and some sweet potatoes lengthwise so that they will stack nicely on the bread, and your vegetables won’t fall off your sandwich. Toss them in oil and season them with salt and pepper.
Lay the zucchini and sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. While the veggies are roasting, sautee your onions in some oil until they are tender.
THE SECRET TO A CRISPY SANDWICH
Typically, a toasted sandwich is made by spreading butter on the outside of the bread and cooking it until the butter browns and the bread becomes toasted. However, the secret to the perfectly crispy sandwich is to use mayonnaise on the outside of the bread, and to melt some butter in the pan before toasting the sandwich.
The combination of mayonnaise, butter, and sour dough bread is heavenly! Toasted mayonnaise creates the perfect crunchy texture that you can almost taste when you hear it being bitten in to.
Artzy Foodie Tip: For the perfect crunch on any toasted sandwich, spread the outside of the bread with mayonnaise instead of butter, and melt some butter in your pan before toasting the sandwich.
Building your Sandwich
I like the mild, sour flavor of sour dough bread, and it holds up well to the moisture from the vegetables.
Artzy Foodie Tip: Because sour dough bread toasts up nicely on the outside while retaining a good chew on the inside, it is a great choice of bread for any toasted sandwich.
Spread the outside of the bread with mayonnaise and spread the inside with dijon mustard. Layer the brie cheese, some arugula, some roasted zucchini slices, some tender onions, and some roasted sweet potato slices.
Melt some butter in your skillet. I like to use cast iron for this sandwich. Then, toast on both sides until golden brown.
Now that’s how to eat your veggies!
