Vegetarian Hero Sandwich

 

Makes 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

 

4 crusty oblong sourdough rolls, each about 3 ounces

1 jar (6 oz.) marinated halved artichoke hearts

1/2 cup reduced-fat garlic and herb-flavor Rondele or Boursin

cheese

2 cups (about 2 oz.) arugula or spinach leaves, rinsed and

crisped

1 cup prepared roasted red peppers, drained and cut into thin

strips

1/4 pound thinly sliced smoked Gouda cheese

Thinly sliced red onion

1 cucumber (1/2 lb.), peeled and thinly sliced

 

Preparation

 

1. Halve each sourdough roll horizontally, leaving one long side attached.

Scoop out some of the soft bread in the top half of the roll, leaving crust

intact.

 

2. Drain artichokes, reserving 4 tablespoons marinade. Trim off and discard

any tough leaves or tips. Cut in half lengthwise and set aside. Brush

reserved

marinade over scooped-out portion of each roll.

 

3. Spread the Rondele equally over the bottom half of each roll. Top the

cheese with equal portions of arugula, red pepper strips, artichokes, Gouda,

onion,

and cucumber. Bring the top portion of the roll over the vegetables to close

the sandwich.
