1
Prepare the Eggplant
Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 20 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.
2
Grill the Eggplant
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with black pepper. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until tender and grill marks appear.
3
Assemble the Sandwiches
On one slice of sourdough bread, layer grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers, and slices of smoked mozzarella. Spread olive tapenade on another slice of bread and place it on top.
4
Grill the Sandwiches
Return the assembled sandwiches to the grill. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted.
5
Serve
Remove the sandwiches from the grill, slice in half, and serve warm. Enjoy!
