Each slice of this stuffed bread is a small taste of Mediterranean flavors. An exciting way to dress up a loaf of French or Italian bread. It is a bit time consuming, chopping and sautéing but well worth the effort. Ingredients:

1/2 cup onion, coarsely chopped |
1 cup eggplant, chopped 1/2-inch pcs |
