An eggplant and lemon sandwich sounds odd, doesn’t it? But the flavors are surprisingly addictive. We made this sandwich up on a whim, and absolutely loved it. We’ve eaten it twice this week, and can’t wait to make it again.
This is a very easy recipe. We simply roasted eggplant and lemon slices in the oven with a little spice, and then built a sandwich on a crusty Italian baguette.
The mellowness of the eggplant balances out the bright, sour flavor of the lemon. The flavors work so well together.
We love cooking with lemons. They are so versatile. You can use the juice in drinks and sauces, the rind for flavoring, and now the slices in a sandwich.
Try adding a spread of ricotta cheese to your sandwich if you want to add some extra creaminess. The fun is in the experimentation.
