  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Spread the diced eggplant on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes or until golden and tender.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground lamb for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, chopped mint, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well incorporated.

  5. Place the remaining bread slices on top to complete the sandwiches. Cut in half and serve with a side salad drizzled with tahini, if desired. Enjoy your creation!

Feel free to use minced beef or turkey instead of lamb for a different flavor profile.
If you’re looking to add more crunch, consider including some sliced cucumbers or lettuce as toppings.
