Are you eating a lot of sandwiches for lunch these days? Here’s a vegetable-forward type of fried sandwich for you to try. Jacopo Nardi and Esmeralda Spitaleri from Yeasteria winery (pronounced yeesterREEyah) make a twist on a traditional Chicken Cordon Bleu with two slices of eggplant to make their Eggplant Cordon Bleu. The winery’s name is an ode to the yeast that is essential in their natural wine produced in Venice. Jacopo and Esmeralda fill the center with Asiago cheese and prosciutto, and then dredge and fry the eggplant for a savory treat.
