The grilled eggplant sandwiches sound amazing! I wish I wasn’t the only one who liked eggplant in my family. Mind if I stop by Wednesday? 😉
Okay, I have the BEST eggplant recipe for you (and you too Valerie!). I had this at a fancy restaurant here where I live. I went home and tried to recreate it and it turned out perfectly!!! It’s an eggplant napolean and it is SOOOO good.
* Eggplant
* 1 Cup Panko
* 2 Egg Whites
* 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
* Oil for frying
* 1 Tomato
* 1/4 cup pesto
* Goat Cheese
Slice the eggplant into about 1/2 inch thick circles. Dip in egg whites and then in panko mixed with parm. Cook in a pan coated with oil (obviously, cook on both sides!)…just for a few minutes, until crispy on the outside. Move to a plate and layer like this: eggplant, goat cheese, drizzle of pesto, eggplant, goat cheese, drizzle of pesto, eggplant, diced tomatoes, drizzle of pesto.
Sorry for the directions….I don’t have a recipe to go off of because I just recreated it myself. I promise, you will NOT be disappointed!!!
Thanks Amy- I still have some Giada Pesto to eat so that sounds delicious!
