  • 1 eggplant (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium red onion, quartered lengthwise, layers separated
  • 4 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise, seeded, and slivered
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 4 slices crusty bread, 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Divide eggplant, onion, tomatoes, and 2 tablespoons oil between two rimmed baking sheets. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Roast until eggplant is tender, 25 to 30 minutes; let cool to room temperature.
  • Place bread on another baking sheet, and brush with 1 tablespoon oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; bake until golden, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Transfer eggplant mixture to a medium bowl. Toss with remaining oil and lemon juice. Divide eggplant mixture among bread slices and serve at room temperature.
