EGGPLANT SANDWICH

Oh and oww and all that.  Still hurting a lot from the fall.  Oh well a few more days and all will be fine.  You know how some days you just don't feel like having a big meal or a whole dinner?  Well here is one of my favorite sandwiches for days like that.  In fact that is going to be dinner here tonight.

EGGPLANT SANDWICH

Makes 2 or 3 sandwiches

1 large, nice round eggplant
Jar of roasted red peppers
Mozzarella cheese slices
Baby arugula
2 eggs
 1 1/2 cups Italian bread crumbs
Olive oil
Lemon juice
Mayo
1 loaf of Ciabatta

Cut the eggplant into thick slices (2 per sandwich).  Beat the egg, dip the eggplant into the egg then into the bread crumbs.  Set aside on a piece of waxed paper.  Heat about 1/2 cup olive oil in a skillet, when hot, fry the eggplant until tender.  Top with the mozzarella and cook just until it begins to melt.  Cut the bread into two sandwich portions.  Cut in half.  Put the eggplant on the bread, top with a couple slices of the red peppers.  Spread the top half of the bread with Mayo.  Take two handfuls of arugula and dress with a little olive oil and lemon juice and salt and pepper.  Top the sandwich with the mixture.  Top with the other half of the bread.  That is a dinner!  A little glass of wine would not hurt!

Thanks for stopping in today
