Ingredients for Eggplant Sandwich
Bread: There’s a variety of bread that can be used to make eggplant sandwiches. My first two options are always Brioche and Sourdough. But This also tastes good with Panini bread or Ciabatta bread too. If you can’t find any of these bread use sandwich bread but you MUST make it. Eggplant: I have used long eggplants but go for a plump round one if you have that and cut into roundels. Cheese: Feta cheese and Cream cheese. Pesto: Use store-bought basil pesto or make homemade pesto. Veggies: I have used sliced tomatoes. If you love onions, use thinly sliced onions as well. Toppings: Sea salt, Chilli flakes, black sesame seeds, white sesame seeds and basil.
How to Make it -Step by Step
Assembling the sandwich
Top Tip
Oftentimes cut eggplant becomes bitter if kept for a longer time. To prevent this Soak eggplant in salted water.
Variations
- You can make another variation. For this I have used sliced brioche bread. I have used similar stuffings and added some lettuce. The main difference is I have topped with another toasted bread slice and served this eggplant and feta sandwich.
Serving Suggestions:
You can enjoy it as an open toast as I have shown in the video. I often make it in brioche bread and enjoy it as a sandwich. That way it is easy to pack and carry it to the office for lunch. You can cut the sandwich into 4 pieces and serve it as an appetiser.
Storage of leftovers
I usually prepare stuffings/toppings in advance and grill the sandwich when required as it tends to become soggy if stored for long periods of time. The toppings can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 days.
