Meet Your New Fave Lunch: Veggie Cheesesteak Sandwiches
As you can probably tell from the name, cheesesteak sandwiches usually contain steak. But who says we veggie lovers can’t get a piece of the action too? These vegetarian cheesesteaks are piled high with onions, peppers and portobello mushrooms, and finished off with a nice slice of gooey, melty cheese. Stuffed in a soft sub roll, they’re absolutely irresistible. Whether you’re vegetarian or not, you’ll love these hot sandwiches!
Ingredients:
Serves 2
— 1 onion
— 2 bell peppers (I used red and green)
— 2 portobello mushrooms
— 1/2 Tablespoon oil
— 2-4 slices cheese (provolone is ideal)
— 2 submarine rolls
— to serve (optional): ranch dressing, fresh parsley
Instructions:
1. First, chop the vegetables into fairly chunky slices.
2. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the onion and peppers. Cook for a few minutes over a medium heat, then add the mushrooms. Continue to cook for five more minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.
3. Divide the vegetables in half and add 1-2 slices of cheese to each half. Turn the heat down fairly low and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for a few minutes, until the cheese has melted.
4. Slice the submarine rolls in half and use a spatula to transfer half of the cheesy vegetable mixture to each roll.
5. Serve topped with ranch dressing and fresh parsley, if desired.
