Ingredients
Butternut squash peeled and sliced 1/4″ thick
Egg, beaten
Breadcrumbs, seasoned as you like (salt, pepper, garlic, Italian seasoning)
Roasted sweet peppers
Arugula
Fresh mozzarella
Ciabatta or your favorite bread
olive oil, balsamic
Instructions
Dip squash slices in egg, then breadcrumbs, then fry in oil until golden and cooked completely. Remove to a paper towel-lined pan to cool. Season with salt.
Roast peppers over a gas burner, on an outdoor grill, or in the broiler until charred. Peel and seed them, then drizzle with a little olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic (optional).
To assemble the “grinder” sandwich:
Cut the ciabatta in half lengthwise and drizzle with some olive oil and balsamic glaze. Top with squash slices, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, and arugula leaves. Close the sandwich, press a bit, then enjoy! Wrap well and refrigerate if you prefer to make it ahead.
