Grilled Eggplant (Aubergine) and Mozzarella Sandwiches image

We try to cut back on our red meat and our favorite subs are eggplant and Portebello mushrooms. This is a delicious eggplant one. The freshest ingredients really make a difference,especially the mozzarella and basil.

Time 30m

Yield 2 Sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup Italian dressing (your favorie or homemade with olive oil)
12 ounces baby eggplants, cut in 1/2 inch thick lengthwise slices
2 large crusty rolls, split
4 -6 slices fresh mozzarella cheese (or deli,adjust depending on your taste)
1 roma tomato, sliced thin
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf

Steps:

  • Prepare a moderately hot grill.
  • On a platter, pour 2 T dressing over eggplant slices, (I brush the slices to cut back on calories).
  • Grill eggplant over moderate heat, brushing with more dressing, until charred and soft on the inside, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, brush cut sides of rolls with remaining dressing, place around edge of grill, and toast until a golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Layer rolls with eggplant, cheese, tomato, and basil leaves and replace tops.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my sandwiches, but they didn't turn out very well. The eggplant was tough and the mozzarella cheese didn't melt very well. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

I love the combination of flavors in this recipe. The grilled eggplant is smoky and flavorful, and the mozzarella cheese is melted and gooey. The fresh basil and red pepper flakes add a nice touch of spice. I will definitely be making this again.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The eggplant was bland and the mozzarella cheese didn't melt very well. I think I'll stick to my usual eggplant recipes.

I made these for dinner last night and they were great! I used a balsamic glaze instead of the red pepper flakes and it gave it a nice tangy flavor. The eggplant was cooked perfectly and the mozzarella was melted and gooey.
