A delicious vegan sandwich featuring crispy fried eggplant, spicy hot sauce, and fresh toppings like vegan mayo, red pepper spread, pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Peel the skin off of your eggplant, then cut into 1/2 inch round discs. Prepare wet batter by whisking together cream and hot sauce with salt & pepper. Prepare dry batter by whisking together flour, fry seasoning of your choice, and panko. Dip eggplant into the wet batter, covering all sides well. Then, into the dry batter, covering all sides well. Place coated eggplant in a heated pan filled with grapeseed oil. Fry on both sides until crispy and delicious. Remove from heat and let cool. In the meantime, prepare your buns by spreading mayo, then red pepper spread, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and then add your eggplant. Feel free to use any toppings you personally enjoy.
