Roasted Veggie-Grilled Cheese Sandwich

I went a little crazy at the fruit market and ended up with 3 bags of vegetables.  Since I had made stir fry vegetables just about every other night for the past week, I decided to go the sandwich route.


Ingredients:
1/2 of an Eggplant
1/2 of a Squash
Handful of Mushrooms
1/4 Onion
1 Bell pepper (any color)
6 Garlic cloves
1 Chicken sausage
Extra virgin olive oil
1/8 cup white wine
1 roll
1 slice mozzarella cheese
Feta cheese

Start by chopping all your vegetables and chicken sausage into bite size pieces. Chop two of the garlic cloves and leave the other 4 whole.  Spread the vegetables and sausage out on a baking sheet.  Toss the vegetables with a light coating of extra virgin olive oil and white wine.  Season the vegetables with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme and oregano.

Roast vegetables for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, tossing at the 10 minute mark.  For the sandwich I used a whole wheat focaccia mini loaf. I put a layer of feta cheese on the bottom, then stacked the veggies and sausage, then topped it with mozzarella cheese. Put it on a panini press for 5-10 minutes - just long enough to melt the cheese. 

With the leftovers I made a salad for lunch :)
