ROASTED EGGPLANT SANDWICHES

Eggplant is often relegated to classic parmigiana, or baba ganoush. But it can be so much more! Take the time to salt and season it and put it in a nice hot oven and it will melt into a sweet and savoury treat that will easily be the star of any plate.
Serves 2.
Ingredients:
❑ 1 eggplant, sliced lengthwise ❑ Salt, to taste ❑ 2 tsp olive oil ❑ 1/4 tsp paprika ❑ 4 slices sourdough bread ❑ 1 cup arugula ❑ 1/4 cup sliced aged cheddar ❑ Smear of mayo (optional)
