Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 sprig rosemary
1 small-medium firm eggplant, 8 slices 1/2-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 large pitas or flat breads, halved across

1 cup packed baby arugula

Steps:

  • Heat grill pan to medium-high.
  • Heat the olive oil in small pot over medium heat with garlic and rosemary to infuse flavor, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Brush eggplant with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, grill 2 to 3 minutes on each side to tenderize. Remove from heat.
  • Make sandwiches on split flat breads of 2 slices each eggplant, blue cheese, prosciutto and a handful of arugula.

The sandwich was a bit difficult to eat because the eggplant kept falling out.

The eggplant was cooked to perfection, smoky and tender, and the Cambozola cheese was deliciously creamy and tangy.
