Grilled Eggplant Sandwich

Let’s talk about this gorgeous Grilled Eggplant Sandwich, keeping with our Mediterranean inspired dishes theme. You could argue it’s not eggplant season, and I’d say you’re absolutely correct! But here’s the thing: I’ve been seeing a lot of eggplants out there, so take it up with globalization. 

Another thing we have to address: exorbitant prices! I once – very unknowingly, very much against my will, I only realized it much, much too late, but the trauma clearly persists – paid 12 dollars for a chubby eggplant. 12 dollars!! The moment I double checked that little piece of paper, I was instantly traumatized. But don’t despair, every once in a while you’re greeted with great deals at the local grocery store, and it all evens out, I guess. But hey, don’t let me discourage you! I’m a big fan of eggplants. I wholeheartedly believe they’re worth the investment. Exhibit A and B. 

Of course it’s not tomato season either, but that’s irrelevant, because when you put all these ingredients together, it’s chef’s kiss (or maybe save this and make it in summer, okay?). I mean, do I really need to sell on this? Look at the facts: it’s grilled eggplant, melting mozzarella, crusty crunchy burrata, a touch of garlic, and fresh basil. Do the math. I rest my case.

It’s so easy, I made sure to add some visuals just so you’re certain you’re not making any mistakes. Now excuse me while I head to my local grocery shop and dump an exorbitant amount of money into some ingredients, like a couple little chubby eggplants so I can make this Grilled Eggplant Sandwich. Or this one. Or maybe this. Geez, the possibilities are endless.
