Ingredients
  

Eggplant Sandwiches

  • 1 eggplant , peeled and sliced about 1/2" think
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tomato , sliced
  • 1 mozzarella cheese slices
  • 1 feta cheese
  • ¼ cup basil fresh leaves
  • 1 bread loaf Focaccia or French rolls

Lemon Garlic Aioli

  • ½ cup mayo (I use the olive oil one)
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic , minced
  • ½ lemon
  • ½ tsp. pepper , fresh ground
  • 1 sprinkle sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Sweat the eggplant slices with salt for at least a half an hour before cooking.  
  • Rinse the slices in water to remove the extra salt and allow to dry.
  • Either preheat broiler in oven or grill.
  • Brush the eggplant with the olive oil and put it on a baking sheet (if using the grill, directly on the grates is fine).
  • Place about 6" from the heat and cook until tender and toasted, flipping once.  About 5 or 6 minutes on each side.
  • Toast rolls and spread with the lemon-garlic aioli.
  • Then layer on the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese slices.  
  • Toss the rolls back under the broiler to melt the cheese.  
  • Add feta cheese and basil leaves and serve.

Lemon-Garlic Aioli

  • Combine all ingredients and place aioli in the fridge for at least a half hour before using for flavors to meld
