This burger came about when I was hunting around for different burger patty ideas. I’ve eaten everything there is to eat in the form of ready-made ones, and am yet to really foray into making them myself. (Although I made an amazing one recently, stay tuned!) I love eggplant and once I thought about grilling a slice of that as the burger base, everything just fell into place.
I guess any topping you like would work well – hommous and tahini, honey mustard, cheese and pineapple (yeah I went there), but for this I kept it simple. Tasty cheese, grilled eggplant, feta, sweet chili, tomato and letuce. It’ll be in regular rotation from now on!

We usually make our burgers with smashed beans and rice. A can of refried beans is the perfect texture. But I don't eat them on a bun, too much starch with the bread and rice. 1 burger and salad.Lovely recipe, and beautiful blog.Jill
