Eggplant and Goat Cheese Sandwiches Recipe kchurchill5

Peel and slice the eggplant in planks.

I cut each plank in half in order to put them together to make a sandwich.

Make the filling ... mix the goat cheese, roasted red peppers (or pimentos), chives, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes for some heat.

Make two pans for the breading station.

I with the egg lightly beaten and the other with the bread crumbs.

Dried not fresh work better for this.

Now add a big teaspoon of the cheese mix in the center of the eggplant, top with the second and lightly push the two halves together.

Now tip in the egg and then the bread crumbs.

And saute in a large non stick (I prefer non stick for this, but a grill pan is fine) and saute the eggplant on each side until slightly brown and the cheese begins to melt.
