GRILLED EGGPLANT, ONION, AND RED PEPPER SANDWICH

Grilled Eggplant, Onion, and Red Pepper Sandwich image

This quick and easy grilled eggplant sandwich is a healthy substitute for a burger, and it tastes great! I cooked the eggplant and other veggies in a grill press to save time, but you could also use a grill pan or barbecue grill to prepare them.
