Number Of Ingredients 9

1 eggplant (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 medium red onion, quartered lengthwise, layers separated
4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, seeded, and slivered
4 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 slices crusty bread, 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, torn into large pieces
