I prefer this without the basil, it's just a little too overpowering. I've tried the eggplant many different ways (grilled, baked, peeled, etc) and the best way I've found is to lightly coat in flour and fry. It gives the eggplant more of a crisp instead of staying like a soggy mess on the bun. The flavors of this come together nicely and this is one of our favorite meatless meals.

Great healthy sandwiches. I used the Kraft olive oil mayo with cracked pepper and since I didn't have any basil, I omitted that. We also used whole wheat rolls and reduced fat feta.

Phenomenal. I subbed out the tomatoes for roasted red peppers and it was great. I was also out of fresh basil, but I'm not sure I missed it in the final product. Easy to prepare and big flavor.

Best sandwich I've ever made. I made it for my family and friends, and now everyone can't get enough. Perfect flavor. I use mine on onion wheat buns for healthier/more taste. 5 stars!!

Excellent. We used artisan Kalimata olive bread. We didn't have the fresh basil so we used the dried and wished we had the fresh.

WOW!!! This is GREAT! The flavors all go so well together! I would give the a + 15 if I could! To the negative reviews on this recipe... I am having a great deal of trouble imagining how your eggplant slices came out to the consistency of guacamole. This sandwich could not be easier to make and it is delicious!

Fantastic! I didn't have feta or fresh basil; instead I just added some dried basil to the mayonnaise and garlic, and also sprinkled some basil along with some sea salt on the eggplant before broiling it. I also flipped the eggplant over halfway through. One of the best sandwiches I've had.

Nice. I cooked the eggplant in microwave and then sauteed in butter, added Siracha to the mayo and put red onion as a topping-- delish : )

Great and quick sandwich. I was a little hesitant about using not cooked garlic with the mayo,but it tasted wonderful. Something a little different to break up the monotony of my usual recipes. Also, I cut my eggplant in about 1/2" slices since the recipe didn't specify, and that seemed to work well. The eggplant slices were done perfectly in 10 minutes. The only downside of this would be the garlic breath afterward. Not a good first date meal :)
