New Baked Eggplant Sandwiches – Get’Em Spell They’Re Room Temp!

I didn’t intend for this baked eggplant sandwich to plough into yet some other Super Bowl political party nutrient post, but 2 bites inwards in addition to I realized that’s what may accept happened. The argue for this epiphany had zippo to do alongside sense of savor or texture, but alongside temperature. I’d forgotten simply how really delicious these are served at room temp, which was ever how the Italians I learned this from served it.

Of course, similar whatsoever normal mortal faced alongside a warm, cheese-filled anything, I ate ane equally before long equally possible, in addition to it was great. Golden-brown in addition to crisp on the outside, soft in addition to gooey on the inside. However, when I went dorsum for seconds an hr later, I got to sense these inwards all their cooled-off glory.

While non equally crispy, they were nonetheless crunchy some the edges in addition to featured an alone dissimilar flavor profile. Hot salami isn’t the greatest human face of the sausage maker’s art, in addition to yous really don’t appreciate the eggplant’s subtle sweetness playing against the cheese when hot.

I’m non certain just why, but Italians look to accept a affair for room temperature fried foods, peculiarly vegetables. I’ve heard Mario Batali verbalize most this before, but at that topographic point seems to move a long tradition of letting fried materials cool downwards start earlier eating.

Happily, this practise works perfectly for entertaining, since yous tin bake these off ahead of time, in addition to lay them out on a tray anytime. Whether for your Super Bowl party, or not, I promise yous plough over these addictive eggplant sandwiches a campaign soon. Enjoy!
