Ready in 16 minutes! Delicious crunchy eggplant sandwiches with onion, tomato, basil, and cheese - a quick and tasty dinner!
Ingredients:
  • 8 slices unpeeled eggplant, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/3 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  • 4 thin slices red onion, separated into rings
  • 4 slices (1 ounce each) provolone cheese, cut in half
  • 12 large fresh basil leaves
  • 8 slices Italian bread, 1/4 inch thick, toasted
  • 4 thin slices tomato
Instructions:
  • Start by gently submerging eggplant slices into beaten eggs, then generously coat them with bread crumbs. Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat and fry the eggplant for 3 to 4 minutes, flipping midway, until they achieve a beautiful golden brown crispy exterior.
  • Place a layer of onion and cheese on top of each eggplant slice. Cover and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  • Place fresh, fragrant basil leaves on 4 slices of bread. Layer with ripe tomato slices, savory eggplant, and then top with the remaining bread slices.
