Who doesn't love a good sandwich? (Suddenly remembering Joey from Friends...ah, the 90's. :) ) It is casual, delicious and delivers the things you like in one bite. But I happen to eat sandwiches infrequently, not the least because I don't keep bread around the house. I really enjoy bread when we go out to eat, or occasionally I might pick up a great roll at the farmer's market. But sandwich bread, even the good kind from Whole Foods, gets stale fairly quickly. Enter this breadless sandwich: the "bread" here is made of eggplant baked in low heat so that it holds its shape, just like a little mini baguette. (How cute!) Obviously, eggplant bread doesn't taste exactly (or at all) like bread made of flour. But since you eat with your eyes, it makes you feel like you're eating a real sandwich. Plus, it's just plain delicious! I used my favorite filling which happens to be cashew cheese, but feel free to use whatever you feel like: tofu, tempeh, avocado, sprouts, hummus...the possibiities are endless. :)
