Eggplant Sandwiches

Eggplant Sandwiches are a bold and flavorful vegetarian option that doesn’t skimp on satisfaction. Thick slices of eggplant are roasted or grilled until tender and slightly charred, then layered with creamy spreads like hummus or goat cheese, crisp greens, and fresh herbs, all tucked into crusty bread or pita. These sandwiches are versatile, Mediterranean-inspired, and endlessly customizable—great for meal prep, picnics, or meatless Mondays. Whether hot or cold, they’re always a hit.
