Instructions
- Sprinkle the slices of eggplant with salt and set aside a few minutes while you prepare the spinach.
- Wilt spinach in a little olive oil in a pan. Remove once wilted and allow to cool. Squeeze out excess water and roughly chop.
- Dice the onion and fry in a little oil until softened. Put in a small bowl with the spinach and add the crumbled feta and the cream cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
- Rub the salt from the eggplant then fry the slices in some olive oil until gently brown on both sides.
- Drizzle some olive oil on one side of both slices of bread and rub to cover. Turn the slices over.
- Spread some of the spinach mixture on one piece of bread then put the eggplant slices on top followed by the slices of havarti to create a layer over the top. Put the other slice of bread on top, oil side out.
- Fry the sandwich in a pan a few minutes on each side until browned and cheese has melted.
Notes
- Note - you can make the spinach filling ahead of time and keep any you don't use for a day or two in the fridge to make the additional sandwiches. Eggplant will also keep but is better cooked fresh if possible.
- If you can't get dill havarti, another melty cheese like mozarella will work (and I've used it at times) but is less flavorful so you may want to add a little dill and pepper to the spinach filling.
