INSTRUCTIONS
* Note: See the "Tomato-Balsamic Vinaigrette" recipe which is included in
this collection.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush both sides of the eggplant
slices with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in a single
layer on a baking sheet and roast until lightly brown and tender, about 20
minutes. Arrange the mozzarella slices on 6 of the eggplant slices. On a
cutting board, coarsely chop the basil and anchovy together and sprinkle
over the cheese. Top with a second eggplant slice to form a sandwich. In a
small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and walnuts. Dredge the sandwich in
flour, patting off the excess. Dip them in the beaten egg and then in the
bread crumb mixture. The sandwiches may be prepared up to this point and
kept loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours. Add vegetable
oil to a saute pan to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat oil to 350 degrees. In
batches, saute the sandwiches in a single layer, turning once to brown both
sides. This will take only a few minutes per side. As they are done, remove
to paper towels to drain. Keep warm. These sandwiches may be cooked up to 4
hours in advance and reheated in the oven at serving time. Serve the
sandwiches on a bed of savory baby greens dressed with Tomato-Balsamic
Vinaigrette. This recipe yields 6 sandwiches.
