Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 sprig rosemary
1 small-medium firm eggplant, 8 slices 1/2-inch thick
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 large pitas or flat breads, halved across

8 slices prosciutto
1 cup packed baby arugula

Steps:

  • Heat grill pan to medium-high.
  • Heat the olive oil in small pot over medium heat with garlic and rosemary to infuse flavor, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Brush eggplant with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, grill 2 to 3 minutes on each side to tenderize. Remove from heat.
  • Make sandwiches on split flat breads of 2 slices each eggplant, blue cheese, prosciutto and a handful of arugula.
  • Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Choose a second skillet that can fit down inside the first and get a few heavy cans ready to weight skillets.

I'm not a fan of blue cheese, so I used mozzarella instead. The sandwich was still delicious!

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some roasted eggplant in the fridge and it worked perfectly.

The recipe was easy to follow and the sandwich came together quickly. I especially appreciated the tip to brush the eggplant slices with olive oil before grilling - it helped to prevent them from sticking.

This grilled eggplant panini was a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The smokiness of the eggplant paired perfectly with the creamy Cambozola blue cheese, salty prosciutto, and peppery arugula.
