- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 baguettes or 4 ciabatta rolls
- Salted or unsalted butter, softened

- Preheat oven to 425u0b0 F. Slice eggplants lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick strips and lay strips on an oiled or parchment- or Silpat-lined baking sheet.
- Mix balsamic vinegar and olive oil in a dish. Brush vinegar-oil mixture across top of each slice of eggplant. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper over the top. Roast for about 10 minutes. Turn slices over, brush with oil mixture, season with salt and pepper, and roast for another 8 minutes or so. Cool.
- Cut baguettes lengthwise in half and spread each half generously with the softened butter.
