Delicious! I had to use a little more olive oil and brushed a thin coat on each slice of eggplant. I wish the baguette I bought was little softer. It was a real jaw workout but the flavors and texture of everything else was perfect. Thanks for sharing the recipe. -
Made just as directed and loved the flavors. Will certainly make again. Made for ZWT7 Shady Ladies. -
Very nice sandwich. I liked all the different flavors in it. I did make a basil aoili and used arugula.
