The idea of this is great! I found the baguette to be very tough to bite through given the thickness of the sandwich. Also, the eggplant was still crunchy after five minutes, AND since I wanted creamy, soft eggplant, I put the lid on and cooked for five additional minutes. I added some hot pepper flakes.
