This was great! My whole family loved it. I used artisanal asagio bread and smoked mozzarella. Didn't use the mushrooms but will add next time, which would be tomorrow if my family has any say. The sauce was delicious. Thanks Rachael for this inspirational sammie!

I skipped the mushrooms on this one and went with eggplant, yellow squash, red pepper, and red onion. Delicious. The mayo is also very good with the sandwich -- don't skip this step. I also used ciabatta bread and added two slices of provolone cheese to each sandwich. This recipe is excellent. When my husband heard what was for dinner he said, "That doesn't sound very appetizing." After taking the first bite, he admitted that it was very tasty! This recipe is easy and very flavorful.
