I had a similar sandwich in New York once and have been trying to find recipes to replicate it. This one is better. If you're concerned about protein (although feta does have some) serve with a seeded/nut bread or a protein on the side. Excellent; love the paring of feta with vegetables. Also good with Italian Squash.
This is indeed awesome! Like the other reviewer I recommend roasting your own red peppers. Try this one for sure!
Will make again This sandwich was awesome- I would pay money for it at a cafe. The red pepper and oregano in the feta made a huge difference. I did add some shaved red onion to cut through the richness of the eggplant red pepper and cheese but more lemon juice would have done the same thing. The only negative is that while I was stuffed immediately after eating the sandwich because of how rich it was I was hungry an hour later since there's no protein. I would suggest pairing it with a side salad with cannelini beans. All in all will make again.
This recipe is so simple and so good. It makes a great quick lunch or dinner. I didn't use canned roasted red peppers I roasted a fresh red pepper in the oven myself and I think it made the flavors that much better. It takes an extra 20 minutes but if you have the time it's definitely worth it: 1) Put a whole red pepper on a baking sheet in the oven at 400- F. 2) Turn it after about 10 minutes. 3) After it's almost completely blackened take it out of the oven. 4) After it's cooled enough to handle peal off the blackened skin seed it and slice it into small pieces.
