Instructions:
- Preheat broiler.
- Prepare dressing: In a blender, combine plain nonfat yogurt, Dijon mustard, black pepper, nonfat cottage cheese, Tabasco sauce, minced shallots, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Blend on low until smooth. Set aside.
- Prepare vegetables: Arrange eggplant, zucchini, and red onion slices in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and cayenne pepper. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Broil vegetables: Place the cookie sheet under the broiler for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are browned. Flip them over to brown on the other side.
- Prepare baguette: Quarter the roasted bell peppers. Cut the baguette in half crosswise and scoop out the soft inner dough. Place the baguette halves on the broiler rack and toast for about 2 minutes per side.
- Assemble sandwiches: Spread a few slices of tomato into the bottom of each baguette half. Dust with black pepper and jalapenos if desired. Layer basil leaves, arugula leaves, and roasted pepper pieces on top.
- Add grilled vegetables: Arrange slices of grilled eggplant, squash, zucchini, and onion on top of the herbs and peppers.
- Finish with dressing: Coat the inside of the remaining baguette half with the prepared dressing. Place it on top of the vegetables.
- Serve: Cut the assembled sandwich into 4 portions and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes:
- Customize the spiciness of the sandwich by adjusting the amount of cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce.
- Feel free to omit or substitute any vegetables according to your preference.
- For added flavor, you can grill the vegetables instead of broiling them.
- This sandwich pairs well with a side of mixed greens or a cup of soup for a complete meal experience.
