How to Make Baguette Sandwich With Roasted Eggplant Tomatoes And Pesto

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, toss 1 medium eggplant, sliced 1/4 inch thick, with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
  3. Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and brush with 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar.
  5. While eggplant roasts, cut a baguette in half lengthwise and gently hollow out the center, leaving about 1/2 inch border.
  6. Spread 2 tablespoons pesto generously on both cut sides of the baguette.
  7. Layer the roasted eggplant in the bottom of the baguette, overlapping slices.
  8. Top with 1 cup sliced tomatoes, lightly seasoned with salt and pepper.
  9. Add 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  10. Add a few lettuce leaves (about 2 cups chopped romaine or butter lettuce).
  11. Place the top of the baguette on the sandwich and slice diagonally into 4 sandwiches.
