"Years ago, I was working on a client at my hair salon when we realized that our conversations always led to food," writes Sandy Ercolano of Ridgewood, New Jersey. "She happened to be taking classes at a local cooking school and suggested that I come along. After one class, I was hooked. Now, in addition to running the salon, I'm an instructor at that same school."

You don’t have to be a vegetarian to enjoy these delicious toasted sandwiches, which are skillet-grilled on the stovetop. For added visual appeal, finish in a ridged grill pan.
