Vegetarian Muffuletta Picnic Sandwich

A vegetarian muffuletta style sandwich stuffed with veggies.

INGREDIENTS

•  Japanese eggplant •  Olive oil •  French or Italian style     crusty loaf of bread •  Kalamata olive tapenade •  Fresh basil leaves •  Heirloom tomato •  Roasted peppers •  Marinated artichoke hearts •  Fresh mozzarella •  Baby lettuces

INSTRUCTIONS

1:

Slice the eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Heat a grill, grill pan, or other large pan over medium heat. Cook the eggplant until tender, about 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat to cool.

Carefully cut the top of the bread off using a serrated knife angled downward. Scoop out the inside of the bread top and bottom to create a crusty bread shell.

2:

Save the inside for breadcrumbs. Spread the bottom and top of the bread with a layer of olive tapenade. Layer the basil, vegetables, and mozzarella inside the bread, pressing them in firmly.
