    Grilled Eggplant & Chard Sandwich

    Main Courses

    Are you looking to mix up your sandwich game? Well, this Grilled Eggplant & Chard Sandwich is definitely the way to do it. 

    grilled eggplant & chard sandwichThis grilled eggplant & chard sandwich is separated into a few different steps.  To start, take one small eggplant and slice it into ½ inch slices.  Mix salt and water into a large bowl and soak the eggplant for 3-4 hours or even overnight.  This will take some of the bitterness off of the eggplant.  After the eggplant slices are soaked, wash them off with cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.  Mix paprika and olive oil together and lightly coat each side of the eggplant.  Heat up a grill or a pan and cook the glazed eggplant slices on medium for 5-7 minutes.

    I don’t know about you, but I could eat goat cheese on just about everything.  How do you like goat cheese on your grilled eggplant & chard sandwich? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
