Vegetable oil cooking spray
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs, beaten, at room temperature
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
Four 1/2-inch-thick eggplant slices (1/2 a medium eggplant)
Four 4-inch diameter portobello mushrooms, stemmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling, optional
Four 1/2- to 3/4-inch-thick slices country wheat bread, toasted or grilled

Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant: Look for small to medium-sized eggplants that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid eggplants that are too large, as they may be bitter.
  • Prepare the eggplant properly: To prevent the eggplant from absorbing too much oil, slice it thinly and sprinkle it with salt. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then rinse it and pat it dry.
  • Grill the eggplant: Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and grill them over medium heat until they are tender and slightly charred. You can also roast the eggplant in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes.
  • Make the balsamic glaze: Combine balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture has thickened. You can also add a little bit of Dijon mustard or honey to the glaze for extra flavor.
  • Assemble the sandwiches: Spread some of the balsamic glaze on the grilled eggplant slices. Top with the roasted portabella mushrooms, fresh mozzarella cheese, and arugula. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Conclusion:

Grilled Eggplant and Balsamic Glazed Portabella Mushroom Sandwiches are a delicious and healthy vegetarian meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a light lunch. The grilled eggplant is tender and smoky, the portabella mushrooms are savory and flavorful, and the balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness and acidity.
