EGGPLANT Slice the eggplant crosswise in eight half-inch slices and transfer to a baking sheet covered with foil. Season with salt and pepper. (Don't skip this step.) Place tray about four inches from the broiler and broil until golden, 4 - 5 minutes per side. HUMMUS Mix all the hummus ingredients in the food processor until smooth. SANDWICHES To assemble, spread thick layer of hummus on hot bread. (You may have leftover hummus for more sandwiches.) Top each piece of toast with a slice of eggplant, then with any add-ons.
