- Kosher Salt
- 1 Wedge of The Laughing Cow Light French Onion

Instructions
- Rub the olive oil on the eggplant and onion slice. Sprinkle both sides with a bit of kosher salt.1 thick slice of eggplant, 1 slice of red onion, 1 teaspoon olive oil, Kosher Salt
- Grill over a medium flame for about 4-5 minutes a side until the eggplant softens and grill marks form. I like my eggplant soft, you can adjust times to suite your taste, there's no fear of rare meat with an eggplant burger.
- Once the eggplant is almost done to your liking, dollop the Wedge of The Laughing Cow Light French Onion cheese on top. I was only making one so I used the whole wedge, I can see sharing the wedge across 2 burgers but since I only had one, I also topped the onion.1 Wedge of The Laughing Cow Light French Onion
- Close the grill and let the cheese warm up. It's not going to melt since it's more a cream cheese style cheese than a slice but it will still warm and get squishier.
- At this time I also toasted my "bun" on the grill.
- Remove the eggplant and onion and stack with some spinach leaves on the English muffin.1 Whole Wheat English muffin or bun of your choice that's about as wide as your eggplant slice., Handful of raw spinach leaves
