20140114-200705.jpgI had heard of using eggplants as pizza crust (may or may not do in the future) but I decided to try to make open-face [almost] reubens instead.

I sliced an eggplant into about 1/4 to 1/3 thick slices (thicker than thickest mandoline setting). I pammed it, then sprinkled it with salt, pepper, and caraway (to fake rye bread flavor). I roasted it at 400 for 12 minutes. I then flipped them and did the same seasonings and roasted them for 5 minutes.

I then topped the eggplant slices with home-made fat free thousand island (see below), then [heated] sauerkraut, then pastrami (Hillshire Farms brand), then slices of swiss-cheese. The pastrami was 7 ounces which is a little bit less than I wanted but to be honest, it was enough. I roasted them for other 5-7 minutes to melt and heat it all

The dressing was from the recipe below. I upped the relish to a full tbsp since it needed it. I also did use low-sugar ketchup since I had it. The dressing was pretty good though I do not recall how other commercial ones. This was pretty easy and good though so I'd do it again.

Overall, they were pretty good. Nowhere near as good as a_real_ reuben, but good enough for dinner and was certainly healthier. I actually calculated the points below too. Iwould do it again for sure though two slices of rye bread wouldn't have been too many more calories/points that I may just consider that next time.

(oh, I also had leftover squash)
