Instructions
Make the Pesto
  1. Start the pesto spread by mixing all the pesto ingredients together in a food processor. Blend until well mixed.
Roast some vegetables
  1. Lay the sliced eggplant and tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Rub it all gently until evenly coated and seasoned. Broil on middle rack about 10 minutes, until they are starting to brown and dry a tiny bit.
Saute Mushrooms
  1. Slice mushrooms and saute in a small skillet until starting to brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble Sandwiches
  1. Toast the bread if desired. Slather a generous helping of the pesto over each slice. Layer eggplant, tomato, roasted red peppers, and mushrooms over each slice. Sprinkle with green onion and a few crumbles of feta. Lay 2 slices of provolone over each sandwhich and toast under the broiler until the cheese is melted.
