EGGPLANT SANDWICH WITH BLACK OLIVE PESTO
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Coat each eggplant slice with the seasoned flour.
- In a large skillet heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil over medium-high heat and fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides, adding more oil as needed. Remove the eggplant from the skillet and blot lightly on paper towels.

- Cut the sandwich in 2 pieces. Brush each side of the focaccia with olive oil. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and grill both sides until golden and crispy. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Cut each sandwich into 3 and serve warm.
- In a food processor puree the olives, Parmesan, olive oil, and garlic until smooth.
- Can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks in an air tight container.
