"I took the concept of a panini with an oil and vinegar base and switched it up, coming up with the following creation, using my beloved eggplant. These sandwiches are seemingly simple, but pack a lot of flavor."

Step 1
Pour oil and vinegar in a ramekin and whisk with a fork.
Step 2
Lay grilled vegetables in one layer on a microwavable plate. Microwave them approximately 1.5-2 minutes at 50% power on each side, until slightly warm. Blot extra oil and water. Alternately, barbecue (or oven roast, if you prefer) your own eggplant and zucchini: cut half inch slices and rub liberally with olive oil before cooking.
Step 3
Toast bread (or buns) to your liking.
Step 4
Once ingredients are fully prepared, re-stir the oil and vinegar. Working quickly, use a pastry brush to coat the top of all 6 bread surfaces.
Step 5
Crumble the Italian seasoning over the pieces of bread between your thumb and forefinger, covering evenly.
Step 6
Top each slice of bread with the cheese, grilled vegetables and cucumber; serve sandwiches open face.
