Jon Hamm Eggplant Sandwich

In celebration of Jon Hamm’s large eggplant (yes, I went there), I thought it be fun to make a delicious eggplant sandwich. I know what you’re thinking… “why not a ham sandwich?” well this is a plant-based sandwich that I promise tastes even better. This sandwich is easy-to-make and is great for a quick lunch or picnic on a sunny day!

Ingredients:

Eggplant: Eggplants are loaded with antioxidants like vitamins A and C that help protect your cells from damage. It’s also so damn tasty on sandwiches, roasted, on the BBQ, etc.
