Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Eggplant
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 loaf French baguette or ciabatta loaf
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella
- 1 large Tomato
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly golden.
While the eggplant is roasting, slice the baguette or ciabatta bread into sandwich-sized portions and cut each portion in half lengthwise.
Thinly slice the fresh mozzarella and tomato.
Once the eggplant is done roasting, assemble the sandwiches by layering roasted eggplant slices, fresh mozzarella, tomato, and fresh basil leaves on the bottom half of each bread piece.
Optionally drizzle balsamic glaze over the fillings for added flavor.
Close the sandwiches and, if desired, lightly toast them on a skillet or panini press until the bread is golden and the mozzarella begins to melt.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Eggplant and Mozzarella Sandwich!
