These were so amazing. I made them with ciabatta bread instead of french bread and they were just delicious!

My husband the veggie hater loved these. I also added sauteed portobello mushrooms and oil packed dried tomatoes the second time I made this. I think next time I might try spreading spaghetti sauce on the bread instead of ranch dressing and add some mozzarella slices. Yummm!

I have made this many times in the summer. I use foccia bread and omit the ranch and add some red pepper flakes to the veggies. It is a truly fantastic sandwich and play around with the cheese if you don't like swiss I have used provolone and fontina. Thank you for posting this great summer recipe.
