Preparation

Preparation Steps

1. Prepare the Eggplant

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the eggplant into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let it sit for 20 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

2. Roast the Eggplant

Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

3. Assemble the Panini

On one slice of ciabatta, spread a layer of marinara sauce, followed by roasted eggplant slices, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil leaves. Top with another slice of ciabatta.

4. Grill the Panini

Heat a panini press or skillet over medium heat. Brush the outside of the sandwiches with olive oil. Grill the panini for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.

5. Serve

Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve warm with additional marinara sauce on the side.
