I usually don't go through all this trouble to make a sandwich, but this is soooooooooo worth it! Make sure you use fresh, soft rolls. Make a nice pasta salad and have dinner out on the deck with a nice glass of wine!

- 1 Large or 2 smaller Egglplant (about 1 1/2 lbs. total)
- salt
- 1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 TBLS. chopped fresh basil, plus 8 whole sprigs
- 1 TBLS. chopped fresh oregano, or 1 tsp. dried
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 1 large ripe tomato,sliced about 1/4 inch thick
- 4 Portuguese or other similiar sandwich rolls, split

- Rinse the eggplant under cold water and pat the slices dry with paper towels.
- Brush both the eggplant and tomato slices on both sides with the flavored oil.
- Grill the eggplant, turning occasionally and brushing with more oil, until tender and nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
- About 2 minutes before the eggplant is done, brush the cut sides of the rolls with the flavored oil and toast on the grill.
- Add the tomato slices and grill, again brushing them with flavored oil until they begin to soften, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Assemble the sandwiches by layering the grilled eggplant, cheese and tomato slices on the bottom half of the rolls.
- Season with salt and pepper if desired.

This will be wonderful. You could also add a portobello mushroom to this. Marinate and griil that too. Yum. L.
