Whenever I make sandwiches, its a happy day for my kids. They are true fans of any sandwich that exists. Of course, it has to be something vegetarian.

They were even more excited, when I told them I’m going to make a filling something different from my other sandwich recipes.

Using eggplant (aubergine) for sandwich filling is very new to me, but I was somehow self-assured that it would turn distinctive. And so it did!

Do try dear readers, this Grilled Eggplant (Aubergine) Cheesy Sandwich is going to be your best fit.

Possible Alterations for the recipe, ‘Grilled Eggplant (Aubergine) Cheesy Sandwich’:

Spice options: I have used 4 different spice powders to apply while grilling the eggplant. You might omit what’s not available with you, and even use some other spices which are readily available.

Plant Based options: I have used Plant based cheese for this recipe, the link for the cheese is at the end of the page.

To grill on stove top: While making the sandwiches on stove top grill pan, flip the sandwich on both sides, so that its grilled evenly on both sides.

Air Fryer Grilled Aubergine Sandwich:

Brush the air fryer mesh with oil. Place the eggplant discs on the air fryer mesh. Spray the discs with oil.

Close the air fryer. Set the time to 10 mins, temperature at 200 C / 390 F.

Brush the mesh again with oil, place the bread slice, apply butter. Then apply Mayonnaise.

Over it put all these>> grated cheese, bell pepper slices, onion slices, grilled eggplant discs, chopped mint leaves, pinch of salt.

Place another bread slice on the sandwich. Close the air fryer. Set the time to 7 to 8 mins, temperature at 200 C / 390 F.

Let it grill on both sides until it turns as per your desired taste. Done!

Tips & Storage:

  • Adjust the salt & spice as per your taste.
  • Once the eggplants/aubergine are cut, they have a tendency to turn black due to oxidisation. So immediately transfer them into a bowl of water adding little salt & turmeric to the water.
  • Not much of prep work can be done for making these sandwiches. The grilling of eggplants has to be made at the same time of making the sandwiches.
  • Storage: When the sandwiches are grilled, let them cool down completely. Then, put them in an air-tight container.
  • They stay good at room temperature up to a day. And for 2 days when stored in fridge.
  • And when you put the container in fridge, take them out put them on stove top pan (or) air fryer again for 2 min. Then serve.

Result:

  • The spice powders we used for grilling the eggplants did real wonders in giving an actual twist to the regular taste of the sandwich.
  • My kids, in fact all of us, loved how well these sandwiches turned to look at and even in taste. I had to make a second batch to feed my hungry family. 🙂
  • We had them just as it is, and tried couple of them with Maggie hot & sour sauce.
