Grilled Eggplant Panini

Grilled eggplant is one of life's simpler pleasures: creamy and rich. Look for medium-size, purple eggplants with firm skins and no mushy spots. This end-of-summer treat will be even tastier if you can find the vegetables at a local farmstand—or in your own backyard!

Make the most of the up-coming long weekend—the holiday we think of as the end of summer. Grilling is still a great option this time of year (and we bet you haven’t had enough barbecued chicken, juicy steak or kebabs yet!). There are plenty of vegetables and fruits still available: zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, corn, raspberries, melon, to name a few. At EatingWell, we’re gearing up for cool-weather casseroles, soups and stews—but not quite yet!
