This was SO amazing! Made it as written except using whole wheat bolillo rolls for the bread. It was absolutely delicious and we will definitely make it again.

Takes a while to make, but this is a delicious sandwich. I really liked the herbed mayo. I wasn't sure if the thyme was to be fresh or dried. I used dried, a little over a teaspoon. I also added more hot sauce I had to roast the veggies instead of grilling them. Bet it would be even better with the smoky taste from the grill. Served on garlic sourdough bread. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This was such a great grilled sandwich. I made it in my indoor grill since there is still snow on the ground here. I used miracle whip and a bit more hot sauce than called for. Over all a great sandwich!

Wonderful! I eat roasted vegetable sandwiches in restaurants all the time. This is the best roasted vegi sandwich I have ever had. For the herbed mayonnaise we used dried thyme and parsley and let is sit for a couple hours. We also didn't have any lettuce so we left it off and didn't miss it.

Skipped the eggplant (don't really care for it) but otherwise great dish. Worth the effort.
