This sammie doesn't have a ton of curb appeal when shut with the breaded edge facing outwards, and so was
skeptical of it. I assumed that the bun would have a hard shell to rip up my mouth - the unfortunate side effect of a crusty sandwich.
But within my first few bites, I cannot believe the error in my ways. What a brilliant concept to pile Eggplant Parmesan with tomato ragout into a feather-light bun! It has a sharp tomatoey tang with just the right amount of acidity, and the satisfying oily texture of eggplant melts right into a kind of savory pudding in the mouth. Presumptions aside, this elegant and hearty Italian comfort food is packed with flavor and it does so right in the convenient format afforded by the sandwich.
*Editors Note: Sadly the Eggplant Parmesan is no longer in rotation at PLENTY.
