Since you already know how to roast your own peppers and will never have to buy them in a jar ever again (click HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about), you may be looking for ways to use them...Look no further. These sandwiches will rock your world.
First thing ya gotta do is whip together the super easy herby cheese spread. In a small bowl, combine:
1 container Tofutti cream cheese, room temp
1 tsp basil
1 tsp thyme
salt and pepper to taste
Stir everything together until it's nice and smooth, then set it aside.
Now, to put together your sandwiches. Split a nice ciabatta loaf down the center, hot dog style. Schmear your cheese spread on both halves and be liberal about it, baby. It's sooo good. Stack your ingredients on one half, in this order:
roasted peppers
red onion, thinly sliced
spinach
few bits of basil
capers (if you're getting fancy)
Put the other half of your bread on top, stand back, and marvel at the yumminess. Slice a few hunks off for your meal and save the rest in the fridge, wrapped in tin foil.
