Directions
1.Trim eggplant ends and cut eggplant crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick (1.25-cm-thick) slices. Place the slices in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let stand for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
2 In a small bowl, blend mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, basil or tarragon and garlic. Cover and set aside to let flavors blend.
3 Place oven rack 4 inches (10 cm) from broiler element. Preheat the broiler. Coat a large nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray. Coat both sides of eggplant slices and onion slices with cooking spray and arrange in a single layer on baking sheet. (You may have to broil in 2 batches if the baking sheet is not large enough to hold all the vegetables.) Broil for 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until tender and lightly browned.
4 Spread 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixture on cut sides of baguette. Place arugula and pepper slices on bottom half. Top with the eggplant slices. Spread the remaining mayonnaise mixture on eggplant slices and sprinkle with pepper. Top with onion slices and cheese.
5 Replace bread top. Cut into 4 equal pieces and serve at room temperature.
