Ingredients

4 slices eggplant, each about 1 inch thick, cut crosswise from thickest part of 1 large eggplant
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar
1/4 pound mozzarella, cut into 4 slices
4 brioche buns, preferably with sesame seeds, halved
4 small leaves Bibb or Boston lettuce
1 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves

Steps:

Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush eggplant and onion liberally with oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Brush grates with oil. Grill onion, flipping once, until softened and lightly marked in spots, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with vinegar.
Grill eggplant slices until just tender on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip and top each with cheese; cook until eggplant is tender and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.
Meanwhile, grill rolls until lightly marked. Sandwich lettuce, eggplant, onion, and basil with rolls. Serve immediately.

EGGPLANT AND MOZZARELLA MELTS

Categories Bread Sauce Bake Mozzarella Eggplant

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 large eggs
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup plain dried bread crumbs (page 365)
Olive oil, for baking sheet
1 eggplant (about 1 pound), sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 small loaf soft Italian bread (8 ounces)
2 cups Basic Tomato Sauce (page 364) or store-bought sauce
8 ounces mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

Steps:

Preheat oven to 475°F. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread bread crumbs in another shallow bowl.
Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet. Dip eggplant rounds in egg, letting excess drip back into bowl, then dredge in bread crumbs, turning to coat completely; transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake (without turning slices) until golden and tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, split bread lengthwise, and place halves, cut sides up, on another baking sheet; press gently in centers of each bread half to create a well.
Layer both bread halves with tomato sauce, eggplant, and cheese. Bake until cheese is browned in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. To serve, cut into 4 pieces.
Breading Made Easy
Rather than being fried on the stove, the breaded eggplant slices are baked to a golden crust in the oven, with much less cleanup. When breading, dip one or two slices at a time in the egg, then allow the excess to drip back into bowl before coating completely with bread crumbs.
