2. season mixture to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside
3. prepare the broiler part of your oven, by preheating
4. brush the eggplant slices lightly with Evoo
5. grill aubergine / eggplant and then, the bread until golden
( about 4 mins. to 5 mins. per side for the eggplant & 2 minutes for the bread ).

*** Nice sandwich ...
*** The idea is, one can use any cheese of choice here that pairs well with eggplant; Asiago, Provolone, a young mild Reggiano Parmesano or Manchego, Fontina etcetra ...
Kind regards.
