Some days I don’t plan ahead and before I know it…it’s already 2 o’clock….that is no good, this girl need lunch and a break!

Don’t we all.

I sharing my favorite sandwiches, Grilled Eggplant & Mozzarella Sandwich with Lemon Artichoke Spread with you today and remind you to take a break, relax and enjoy a nice healthy lunch!

If I didn’t tell you, you may just go about your day and forget about eating lunch and then you and I know just what will happen….we’ll grab all the stuff that isn’t good for us and nothing will satisfy us because we are starving! I hate when that happens.

So grab a few fresh ingredients and lets make LUNCH!

grilling eggplant

I have a small cast iron grill pan and have been using it for just about everything. I like how it makes the deep grill marks on what I’m cooking and I don’t need to get out the charcoal and wait for the grill to heat up.

Grilled Eggplant

I slice the eggplant about a half inch thick and then slice each round in half, as this was a large eggplant.

Toasted bread with Sargento Mozzarella Cheese

I toast the bread under the broiler on high for about 2 minutes, then I added the Sargento Mozzarella Cheese and placed it under the broiler for 30 seconds until it melted.

Grilled Eggplant Sandwich

I love the tanginess of the lemon artichoke spread on this sandwich it goes nicely with the eggplant. No sandwich is complete without some really fresh lettuce and tomato, so pile on the veggies!

    I love eggplant – to me it’s like a portobello mushroom – I like to use it in cooking as a beef substitute :). When done right, it’s so flavorful! Your grilled eggplant looks beautiful, with all those grill marks!
