Preheat oven's broiler. Brush eggplant slices with olive oil, and place them on a baking sheet. Place the pan about 6 inches from the heat source. Broil for about 10 minutes, or until tender and toasted.
Split the rolls lengthwise and toast.
In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and garlic. Spread onto toasted bread. Fill the rolls with eggplant slices, tomato, feta, and basil leaves.

Eggplant can be store in the fridge for about 5 days. Do not store your eggplant on the counter.

Eggplant is believed to have originated in India, it is related to the tomato, and will turn black when cut with a carbon steel knife (so use stainless steel).
