Directions
1. Slice an eggplant into round, 1/4" or so slices. Salt, let sit for an hour or so, wash and pat dry (this all to remove bitterness). Then layer on a cookie sheet and bake about 10-15 min at 350 until soft. Alternately, grill slices. Keep in fridge until you crave a sandwich.
2. Sandwich time...On some wonderful vegan bread, maybe warmed up a bit, layer eggplant slices, juicy fresh tomato slices, and, the key ingredient, fresh basil leaves. Yum.
