Ingredients:

Serving

eggplant
1 medium eggplant
about 1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large garlic cloves
1 or 2 anchovy fillets
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
1/2 cup pitted mixed brined olives (such as nicoise , picholine , or cerignola)
2 tbsp oil-packed dried tomatoes, rinsed and chopped
1 tbsp capers, rinsed
8 fresh basil leaves
freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup loosely packed mixed baby lettuces
your favorite herb salad dressing
4 freshly cut thick slices (3/4 in.) from a sourdough french loaf
about 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
4 oz ripe brie cheese, sliced
1 roasted red pepper, rinsed, peeled , and cut into 1-in. strips
freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Prepare eggplant: Slice into 1/2-in.-thick rounds. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let sit 1/2 hour. Pat dry, brush with oil, and cook over medium heat in a large cast-iron skillet on both sides until cooked through, about 10 minutes total.
Meanwhile, make tapenade: Put garlic and anchovies to taste in a food processor and pulse until well chopped. Add olives, tomatoes, capers, basil, and pepper to taste and pulse to combine. Add oil and pulse until combined but still a little bit chunky.
Make sandwiches: Toss lettuce with a minimal amount of dressing. Spread 1 side of 2 bread slices with 2 tbsp. tapenade each. Brush other 2 slices with oil on 1 side, then turn over and top with most of brie, lettuce, red pepper strips, and eggplant, dividing evenly. Add remaining brie and top with tapenade-spread bread slices, with tapenade side down. Brush tops of sandwiches with olive oil and season with pepper.
Reheat cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Put sandwiches in skillet and cook, turning once until golden brown and cheese is gooey, about 5 minutes total.
