This is an absolutely delicious sandwich. Such a tasy blend of flavors, and the muenster cheese is a must!

The vegetables can be assembled in advance and refrigerated overnight in the zip-top plastic bag. Preheat the broiler for the cheese toasts while you sauté the vegetables, and you'll save even more time.
