SIDE NOTES:
~ This sandwich was first made for me many years ago by my Dad, who often made it w/ his fire-fighter buddies during down-time at Brooklyn’s fire station 253. So juicy & delicious.
~ Don’t cut the eggplant rounds too thin, as they’ll shrink quite a bit while cooking.

~ Personally, we don’t use cheese with this, as to us, it distracts from the fresh, flavorful veggies, but depending on your taste buds – you might prefer it cheese-y!
~ Here, I served it with a side of YOGURT-CUCUMBER-DIP for the raw veggies. (We also like to dip the sandwich in there too.)
