Method
Preheat broiler. Peel eggplant and cut crosswise into 6 slices, cutting slightly on the diagonal to make large slices. Discard end pieces. Arrange eggplant on baking sheet sprayed with Pam; brush tops with pesto. Sprinkle with salt. Broil until browned. Turn and brush second side with pesto. Broil until brown and tender. Toast slices of bread on one side. Place a slice of Cheddar, then a slice of eggplant on the toasted side of each of 6 slices bread. Top each eggplant slice with a slice of ham, then a slice of tomato sprinkled with salt, if desired. Crumble Feta over tomato. Cover with remaining 6 slices bread, toasted sides down. Brush tops of sandwiches with pesto; broil until golden brown. Turn sandwiches, brush with remaining pesto and toast second sides. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes: This hearty sandwich brimming with robust flavor makes an irresistible meal all by itself. The fragrant pesto compliments the mild eggplant, and the ham and cheeses balance both.
