Seasonal Eggplant Parmesan Grilled Cheese

I know that I made something eggplant-y last week but eggplant is just too good right now. Late summer is when a lot of the summer produce is at its best but most people are trying to move on by now. Everyone is talking about pumpkin spice lattes and Im so not ready and so not interested. Though I did perfect some crispy pumpkin waffles a few weeks ago and the flavor profile made my heart sing!

I love eggplant. I think Italian food has really made me looooove it. Im actually headed to Italy in a few weeks and couldnt be more excited to eat my way through Verona, Bologna, Modena and Milan. There is going to be so much eating and its gonna be so much fun.

This of course isnt like anything you would get in Italy. Its as American as they come. I love eggplant parmesan. This is sort of a play on that but then put in between two slices of cheese, which makes it even more delicious!!
