Crispy Eggplant and Portobello Mushroom and Cheese Sandwiches image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs, beaten, at room temperature
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Four 1/2-inch-thick eggplant slices (1/2 a medium eggplant)
Four 4-inch diameter portobello mushrooms, stemmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, optional
Four 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick slices country wheat bread, toasted or grilled
3/4 cup jarred tomato-basil sauce, such as Giada De Laurentiis for Target
8 ounces gruyere cheese, shredded
2 cups arugula

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray 2 heavy baking sheets with vegetable oil cooking spray or line with silicon baking mats. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt and pepper. Place the eggs in another medium bowl. Place the breadcrumbs in a third medium bowl. Toss the eggplant slices and mushrooms in the flour mixture to coat. Working in batches, dip the eggplant slices and mushrooms first in the eggs and then into the breadcrumbs to coat. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, if using, and roast until brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, spread each slice of bread with 2 tablespoons of tomato-basil sauce. Place the mushrooms on top. Add 1/4 cup of cheese and 1/2 cup of arugula. Place the eggplant slices on top. Spoon 1 tablespoon of tomato-basil sauce on top of the eggplant. Repeat for the remaining sandwiches and serve.

PORTABELLA MUSHROOM AND EGGPLANT SANDWICH VEGAN STYLE



Portabella Mushroom and Eggplant Sandwich Vegan Style image

This vegan (almost) sandwich is as good as it gets in comparison to a meat or veggie burger! It is warm to hot depending on your preference and served with cheese or not. I say it's almost vegan because I soaked the eggplant in (skim) milk that came from a cow. One could use soy or some other plant based milk but it may alter the taste drastically. This sandwich was perfect, hearty and simply delish! Enjoy!

BAKED EGGPLANT WITH PORTABELLAS AND TOMATO SAUCE (VEGETARIAN)



Baked Eggplant With Portabellas and Tomato Sauce (Vegetarian) image

The amount listed will serve about 3-4 people although my DH and DS could eat this dish by themselves lol! you can double this recipe if desired, white button mushrooms can be replace for the portabellos. This dish will have you clammering for more, and it tastes even better the following day, but I doubt if there will be any leftovers lol! Use as much portabello mushrooms or button mushooms and cheeses as desired for this recipe, I don't bother measuring. This can be served as a side dish or a main dish, it's a pretty filling dish especially if you use portabello mushrooms!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe and in-season vegetables. Look for eggplants that are firm and have smooth, shiny skin. Portobello mushrooms should be large and have a meaty texture.
  • To prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil, slice it thinly and pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
  • If you're short on time, you can roast the vegetables in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat them before assembling the sandwich loaf.
  • Feel free to get creative with the fillings. You can add other vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or onions. You can also add different cheeses, such as mozzarella, provolone, or cheddar.
  • If you're vegan, you can omit the eggs and cheese from the recipe. You can also use a vegan mayonnaise substitute.
