Pin It
I bought a gigantic eggplant from the store the other day. I bought it with no idea how I was going to cook it. I decided to try an eggplant sandwich, burger type thing. I did add bacon to it but it can easily be omitted to make this a vegetarian option. I liked it and my husband even enjoyed it! Now what to do with the rest of this thing, eggplant parm?
Ingredients:
- toasted bun
- 2 pieces of cooked bacon
- sautéed/wilted spinach – little bit of oil and saute in medium heat until wilted
- slice of eggplant
- shredded mozzarella
- some Parmesan
- basil
- tomato slice
Directions:
- Pre-heat the to oven 350°F
- Pour a tiny bit of oil in a skillet on medium-high heat.
- Cook eggplant on each side for 2-3 minutes until it has softened.
- On a baking sheet, place eggplant slice, sprinkle some salt on it, followed by bacon, then spinach and then both cheeses. Place either a fresh basil leaf or generous amount of dried basil on top of cheese.
- Place in the oven for about 7 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
- Put tomato slice on the bottom bun and then place eggplant on top of the tomato.
- Enjoy! I served with sweet potato fries.
