Prosciutto and Emmental cheese on Eggplant slices
This is a sandwich I found in Stefano Faita’s book. It’s simple, good and very original. You will need a big eggplant and cut thick slices lengthwise. Soak them in olive oil and grill them in a pan. Add the prosciutto, the cheese and let the cheese melt. The recipe calls for Fontina cheese, but I used Emmental.
It is very tasty but very messy to eat. Perhaps I cooked the eggplant too much because the slices were soft and they fell apart when I started eating. I finished it with a fork and a knife.
