Grilled Eggplant Panini with Basil Aioli Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Cheryl-4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 large eggplant,sliced into eight pieces
2 large sweet red peppers, cut into large pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 Ciabatta rolls, split
8 slices provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat grill or oven to medium heat, about 350°F. If using oven, place rack 3 to 4 inches from heat. For basil aioli, place mayonnaise, basil, Parmesan, chives, salt and pepper in a blender; cover, and process until smooth. Set aside. Brush eggplant and peppers with oil. Roast 3 to 4 inches from broiler or on a covered grill until tender, 4 to 5 minutes per side. When cool enough to handle, chop peppers. Set vegetables aside. Spread cut sides of each Ciabatta roll with 2 tablespoons basil aioli. Top each with 1 slice of cheese. Layer bottom halves of rolls with eggplant and peppers and replace tops. In a Panini press or on the grill, cook the sandwiches until cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with remaining aioli on the side. Refrigerate leftover aioli for later use.

Overall, the eggplant panini was a good recipe. I'll probably make it again, but with a few modifications.

The eggplant panini was a bit too complicated to make. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

The eggplant panini was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

The eggplant panini was good, but the aioli was a bit too garlicky for me. I'll try it again with less garlic next time.

This panini was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less olive oil.

I'm not a big eggplant fan, but this panini changed my mind. The eggplant was so flavorful and the aioli was divine. I highly recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a keeper! The eggplant was perfectly cooked and the aioli was the perfect complement. I'll be making this again and again.

This panini was delicious and easy to make. I used store-bought roasted eggplant and it still turned out great.

Great recipe! I used fresh basil from my garden and the aioli was out of this world. Will definitely be making this again.

Amazing grilled eggplant panini! The roasted eggplant was smoky and tender, and the basil aioli added a creamy, flavorful kick. 5 stars!
