Ingredients
1 cup torn arugula
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup seasoned fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 medium eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
1 12-inch plain or seasoned Italian flat bread (focaccia),* halved
horizontally
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
Directions
In a small bowl toss together the arugula, vinegar, and the 1 teaspoon
oil; set aside. In a shallow dish stir together the bread crumbs and
Romano cheese. In another shallow dish beat together the egg and milk.
In a third shallow dish stir together the flour and salt. Dip the
eggplant slices into flour mixture to coat. Dip the slices into egg
mixture, then coat both sides with crumb mixture.
In a 12-inch nonstick skillet heat the 1 tablespoon oil over medium
heat. Add eggplant slices; cook for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly
browned, turning once. (Add more oil as necessary during cooking.) Top
the eggplant with mozzarella cheese; reduce heat to low. Cook, covered,
just until cheese begins to melt.
To serve, place the eggplant slices, cheese sides up, on bottom half of
bread. Top with the arugula mixture, tomato slices, and top half of
bread. Cut into wedges.
