Baked Eggplant Sandwiches/Tramezzino de Melanzane

Crunchy and gooey cheese, but residual bitterness ruined the dish.

In this dish, two slices of eggplant sandwich a slice of cheese. These sandwiches are dipped in flour - egg - and then breadcrumbs seasoned and with Parmesan cheese.

I prepared this dish in hopes of convincing my DH and 15 yr old son that they love eggplant. Unfortunately, this might have had the opposite effect.

I peeled the eggplant, and salted them, and let them rest for about 40 minutes. It was a lovely fresh CSA eggplant, but somehow it was still very bitter.

I might try this again, as the crunch and gooey cheese were very good. Thinking about preparing this? you might consider a stronger cheese.
