Delicious! The only change we made was to grill the eggplant rather than broiling it. We'll definately be making this again and again.

Oh My! This is amazing. I salted the egg plant to drain like previous reviewers have done. My only other addition was I drizzled the sandwich with Chardonnay Vinegar - to die for! Wonderful! I've never been an eggplant user but look out farmers market - I'll be buying lots in the future. Thanks for this recipe.

Excellent. The fresh basil is a must. I didn't have fresh eggplant so I substituted Trader Joe's frozen and breaded eggplant, which cooks in minutes. I can't wait to try it with fresh eggplant.

This was the first time I have ever had eggplant (I was an extremely picky eater growing up and my parents never exposed us to vegetables that didn't come in a can). Now that I have a family of my own, I am discovering how wonderful all kinds of veggies can be. My husband and I LOVED this sandwich; it was so flavorful that I was convinced I couldn't taste the eggplant and had to try a plain piece to make sure I really liked it! I followed the recipe except I salted the eggplant as was recommended by another reviewer and added garlic powder to the mayo since I didn't have any fresh on hand. We will definitely be making these again!

Fantastic Sandwich. Found this recipe while needing to use up an eggplant before it spoiled. WOW, what a surprise. My husband doesn't normally "go" for things like this, he asked we make it again and thought it was filling. My suggestions: Instead of brushing on the olive oil, I have a spray bottle of EVOO, and it keeps it light. I didn't have basil leaves, but I mixed it Italian seasons, salt, and pepper into the mayo mix. Loved it! Thanks

This recipe tastes awesome!! The only change I made was adding some dried basil to the mayo due to the lack of fresh basil.

i loved it! my mom and i are still talking about it. the eggplant was perfectly baked and tasty. loved it

This recipe was way good! I loved it. I added spinach to it as well and toasted everything together in the oven after I cooked the eggplant. Will definitely be making it again. Oh yeah and I just put garlic salt instead of real garlic. Still superb.

This is a great sandwich. I grill the eggplant versus broil. Sometimes I add grilled red pepper. Either way, it is fantastic.

I make this almost every week! One of the best veggie meals. Even my carnivore of a husband said that he liked it! OMG! Thank you for such a great recipe! A few changes: Soak in basalmic first....just grill. I use goat cheese instead of feta.

Here's what you can do to prevent sogginess: slice YOUNG eggplant crosswise 3/8" thick, place on rack and salt both sides. Allow to sit for several hours, then dab off excess moisture w/a paper towel. Eggplant is just like a sponge so to prevent more sogginess VERY LIGHTLY brush on olive oil; broil on a rack until very nicely browned on both sides. Young eggplant skin is more tender, so you won't have to peel it. Use fruits that are about 2 1/2" at their widest part. I needed 2-3 to make four sandwiches. This gives a really meaty texture without sogginess OR being overdone. To sweeten the loud garlic, after dicing it, I cooked it in a bit of olive oil until soft (do not brown or it will turn bitter), then mashed it before adding to the mayo.

I am searching for a recipe that will help me like eggplant. I give it 3 stars because the taste wasn't bad, I just don't like mushy foods, but if u like eggplant i'm sure you'll love it.

Great! Sounds strange but it almost tasted like a veggie Gyro.

Incredible!

This was very yummy. Fresh basil really added a lot of flavor. The eggplant turned out very good on the grill...some of it got soggy, but I think I used too much oil on those ones. Thanks for the vegetarian sandwich idea :)

This was delicious! Make sure you are a garlic lover, because the garlic is strong. I used raw onion slices instead of tomatoes on the sandwich. Very fast and easy.

I love this sandwich! I actually went to UC Irvine and know the sandwich - it was one of my favorites! I can't believe I found this recipe. Thank you!

i really like eggplant so i was searching for easy and different ways to prepare it. this sandwich is both! i used a baby eggplant and it made just enough for one big sandwich for me. had to test it out -the garlic, the broiling, everything was so good. i used roma tomato, just bc they aren't so juicy. made it for my mom for lunch and she loved it too!! just beware, the garlic in the mayo is raw and you will definitely notice it for a few hours (and so will all around you). regardless, soooooo delish, thanks for sharing!
