Mix Pico de Gallo Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, chopped friggitelli, onions, chili pepper (finely chopped), lime juice, and fresh parsley. Season with salt and add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Prepare the Eggplant: Wash the eggplants, trim the ends, and slice them into 1/2 cm thick rounds.
-
Grill the Eggplant: Heat a grill pan and brush it lightly with olive oil. Once the pan is hot, grill the eggplant slices for a few minutes on each side until they are tender and have beautiful grill marks.
-
Prepare the Scamorza: Slice the scamorza cheese into 1/2 cm thick slices.
-
Warm the Piadine: In a dry pan, heat the piadine (flatbreads) for about 30 seconds on each side until slightly crispy and warm.
-
Assemble the Piadina: Once the piadina is warm, place it on a cutting board. Layer the grilled eggplant slices on one side of the piadina, then top with slices of scamorza cheese.
-
Add Pico de Gallo: Spoon a generous amount of pico de gallo over the cheese and eggplant layer.
-
Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the piadina in half, enclosing the filling. Slice it in half and serve warm.
