Grilled Eggplant Sandwich with Creamy Lemon Parmesan Spread

2

So the beauty of this is that you can create it on your grill, cook top or your oven. It’s such a simple recipe but will deliver to you a wealth of flavor and happiness. The eggplant is definitely hearty and delicious once seasoned well. The arugula adds that yummy and peppery taste to the sandwich.

I am all about this sauce though. It’s a beautiful combination of cheesy, lemon creaminess. This meal comes together in 20 minutes and will leave you dreaming about the next time you will have it.
