One of the most popular ways to prepare eggplant for a sandwich is by grilling it, which brings out its natural sweetness and adds a smoky flavor. Sliced and marinated in a flavorful dressing, grilled eggplant makes for a delicious and nutritious filling that can be paired with fresh vegetables, creamy spreads, and crusty bread. For those who prefer a crispy texture, breaded and fried eggplant can be layered between slices of bread and topped with marinara sauce and melted cheese for a satisfying and indulgent meal. Whether you're a vegetarian, a fan of plant-based eating, or simply looking to switch up your sandwich game, eggplant sandwiches are a delicious and versatile option to consider.
