• 1 loaf Crusty bread (such as ciabatta or sourdough)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Eggplant

• 2 cups Spinach leaves
• 6 slices Roast beef (or grilled tofu for a vegetarian version)
• 4 slices Swiss cheese
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Slice the eggplant, zucchini, and red bell pepper into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss them in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 4

While the vegetables roast, prepare the herb mayo. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, and finely chopped basil leaves. Set aside.

Step 5

Slice the loaf of crusty bread horizontally into two equal halves. Brush the cut sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Toast the bread in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, until lightly crispy.

Step 7

Spread a generous layer of the herb mayo on both sides of the toasted bread.

Step 8

On the bottom half of the bread, layer the roasted vegetables, roast beef or grilled tofu, Swiss cheese, and fresh spinach leaves.

Step 9

Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich and press down gently to compact the layers.

Step 10

Slice the sandwich into 4 equal portions. Serve immediately and enjoy your Quarry Sandwich!
