I really like eggplant but don't cook it nearly enough, so this is a great recipe for me to have available. Add or subtract whatever you want to personalize it, but tomato and vegan :lmayo: is my favorite.
For the eggplant and mushroom, slice them and place in a dish and pour some balsamic vinegar over them. Add some minced garlic on top and leave it to marinade for at least 30 minutes. If you're leaving it for a while you should do so in the fridge.
Once you're ready to cook them, drain the vinegar and place the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Use parchment paper, a reusable silicone mat, or some cooking oil to prevent sticking. Set your oven to broil at about 500F and cook for a few minutes on each side. After they cool they're ready to go!
Toast your bread, spread some mayo, add a tomato slice, and that's it.
As a note, I made this with a whole portobello head but I think slicing it and using a couple pieces per sandwich works better.
EDIT: forgot to mention that I stole the recipe from here.

(if you want to be added/removed the vegan nerd call, let eco or I know!)
this shit looks awesome. for an extra bang you could even bread and deep fry the shroom with some japanese style panko bread crumbs
Ooooof yea gotta try this!! I love eggplant, and have recently rediscovered portobello after having gotten tired of it being done badly. This is the recipe that rekindled my enjoyment:

Soooo tasty, especially that butter bean mash! The left over oil is super good to have in too, to just throw onto anything to add some easy flavor
Mmm mushrooms…..this looks really good. I don’t have a lot of eggplant recipes so will give this a try.
Looks good!! I almost never eat eggplant, so this is definitely good to have on hand
Do love some portobello cap! A little mixed on eggplant; I think its good as an addition to stirfry or curry, and Baba Ghanoush slaps, but I haven't really liked just like slabs of eggplant. Might be because I can't do the balsamic vinegar step? (Grapes are one of my many food allergies).
Highly recommend Baba Ganoush tho if you haven't had it; pretty similar to the ever popular hummus, but more vegetable and smokey than beany.
A grape-free option for eggplant slabs is to bread it, then bake it or pan fry it and put it on a roll with tomato sauce. Optionally add some vegan cheese. My mom used to make this like every other week.
Baba ganoush is great but I've never tried making it.
