hooray! it is memorial day weekend. it is officially SUMMER! our plans include doing nothing, going to a fishing clinic for kids, having cousins over, roasting weenies and smores, and playing in the garden.
what are you all doing? either way, i hope it is great and that you try this delicious sandwich....
they had these precious eggplants at aldi this week and even though, it is too early for them here, i had to have one for a taste of summer. plus, i had a dream about this sandwich.
.....
eggplant, bacon and arugula sandwiches
makes 4
8 slices of bacon
4 slices of fresh mozzarella
1 small bunch of arugula
mayo
8 slices of italian bread
1/2 of an eggplant, peeled & cut into 4 discs
1 egg
flour
breadcrumbs, seasoned with salt and pepper
salt eggplant discs and set aside. fry bacon and remove from pan. turn off pan. after eggplant has "sweat" towel off excess moisture. set up a breading station with three bowls: 1. flour 2. egg beaten with a bit of water 3. seasoned bread crumbs. dip eggplant discs into flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. making sure to thoroughly coat the disc. turn the pan, you fried bacon in, back on and fry up your eggplant. be sure to only flip when the underside is golden otherwise it will stick. meanwhile, toast your bread. fry your eggplants until they are soft and tender in the middle. assemble you sandwiches by spreading mayo on one slice of bread, top with eggplant, arugula, mozzarella, and second slice of bread. enjoy!!
