Sandwich Ingredients
2mediumcarrotscut into matchsticks or shredded with a julienne peeler
4slicesAmerican cheese
8 slices white sandwich bread
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine garlic, onion powder, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Whisk until well combined. Fold in the crumbled blue cheese.
Whisk the melted butter and Frank's Red Hot sauce together until well combined. Place eggplant in a large bowl and pour sauce over eggplant and toss to coat the eggplant thoroughly.
To make each sandwich, spread 1-2 tablespoons of blue cheese dressing on a slice of bread. Top with 1/4 of the carrots and 1/4 of the eggplant. Place the cheese on the second slice of bread and pop under the broiler or into a warm oven just until the cheese is melted. Top the sandwich with the cheesy bread. Cut sandwich in half and eat.
While the eggplant is baking, make and gather the rest of the ingredients so that you can toss the eggplant in the buffalo sauce as soon as it comes out of the oven.
