In this mouth-watering vegetarian sandwich, eggplant stands in for the bread. Add slices of roasted sweet red pepper and arugula if you like.

Ingredients

  • 1 eggplant, (about 1 lb/500 g)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3 oz fontina cheese, thinly sliced
  • 16 fresh basil leaves

Preparation

Cut eggplant crosswise into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices. Brush each side with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and cook for 8 minutes. Turn eggplant; top half of the slices with cheese. Cook, covered, for about 7 minutes or until eggplant is softened and cheese is melted. Dividing evenly, place basil leaves on cheese; top with remaining plain slices of eggplant.
