Time 1h20m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large eggplant
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
3 tablespoons, plus1 teaspoon, extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup coarsely chopped golden raisins
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
9 ounces mild chevre
6 thick slices peasant bread, lightly toasted
18 fresh large fresh basil leaves, plus 2 tablespoons slivered, for garnish
6 large slices ripe tomato, 1/4-inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prick the eggplant with a fork. Wrap in foil and bake 1 hour. Unwrap, let cool slightly and cut in half. Scoop out pulp, discarding as many seeds as possible. Coarsely chop and place in a bowl. Stir in chopped basil, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon oil, raisins and salt and pepper.
  • In another bowl, mix the chevre with 2 tablespoons of oil and salt and pepper to taste. Preheat the broiler.
  • To assemble, spread the eggplant mixture evenly over the bread slices. Cover with the whole basil leaves. Spread the chevre mixture over the basil and top each sandwich with a tomato slice. Brush the tomatoes with the remaining oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat until the tomato just starts to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the slivered basil and serve immediately.
