If you make the recipe before – Potato and Fried Eggplant Pastelon - and you have leftover fried eggplant, what do you do with it?????
Make an eggplant sandwich!!!!! But what would make the ultimate eggplant sandwich – an Eggplant Parmesan Sandwich!!!!
EGGPLANT PARMESAN SANDWICH
Whole wheat hoagie bread bun 2-3 fried eggplant slices – check out this recipe on how to batter and fry the eggplant 2-3 fresh mozzarella cheese slices Grated Parmesan cheese Tomato slices 3-4 Lettuce leaves Egg-less mayonnaise
-
Spread the mayonnaise on both bread halves.
-
Stack the fried eggplant slices, sprinkle some grated Parmesan, mozzarella slices on the bottom half.
-
Place in a toaster oven or broiler for a few minutes for the cheese to melt a little.
-
Add the tomatoes and lettuce. Top with remaining bread slice… (like I need to tell you how to build a sandwich, huh?)
-
Press sandwich for all the ingredients to come together.
This is how I made this sandwich when I was veeeeeeery hungry the other day. But now thinking about it, it would really make it an Eggplant Parm sandwich if I had added a bit of tomato sauce before adding the cheeses. In this case, the tomato and lettuce would be optional.
Looks terrific! And it was probably a good idea to go with the tomatoes rather than tomato sauce – I tried to make an eggplant parm panini a few weeks ago and I found the sauce made the bread too soggy. Your approach works better!
I would have never thought to have eggplant like this! Sounds tasty!
