Grilled Eggplant Burgers image

I got this from a care2.com email. They said it was inspired by Simply in Season by Mary Beth Lind and Cathleen Hockman-Wert. I had to post it so I wouldn't loose it. It was so good!

Time 27m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large eggplant, sliced into 16 1/4-inch rounds
8 slices gouda cheese (thin slices) or 8 slices other cheese (thin slices)
2 thinly-sliced tomatoes or 4 large roasted red peppers
8 -16 leaves fresh basil
fresh ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons wine vinegar or 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon-style mustard
sea salt
freshly-ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk all seasoning oil ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Brush eggplant slices with seasoning oil and place over medium-high heat on grill. Close lid and cook until tender, turning and brushing with remaining seasoning oil, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from grill. (You may also cook eggplant under the broiler, or saute them in a pan until tender, about 4 or 5 minutes per side.).
  • Place a slice of cheese on 1 eggplant slice, then top with another eggplant slice. Top this with 2 tomato slices or a piece of roasted red pepper, then put 2 to 4 basil leaves on top of that. Top with third eggplant slice, then another slice of cheese. Top with a fourth eggplant slice. Finish with a grind of pepper.
  • Repeat process to make 4 stacks. Place stacks on grill, close lid, and cook for about 2 minutes, turning once.
  • Serve immediately, or make into sandwiches on crusty rolls or bread. These sandwiches may be served warm or wrapped tightly and chilled several hours or overnight.
  • (I had mine open faced on ciabatta bread).

I'm not sure if it's the eggplant or the spices, but these burgers have a slightly bitter taste.

Be careful not to overcook the eggplant burgers, or they will become dry.

The smokiness from the grill really takes these burgers to the next level.
