grilled eggplant bruschetta

You guys. I have the appetizer of the SEASON right here!

There are so many great things about this recipe – it’s literally level 1 easy, super affordable, quick to prepare, DELISH and HEALTHY! If you’re on a paleo or Whole30 diet then you’ll love this! It would be an impressive appetizer to bring to a party or even a quick, throw-together weeknight dinner! Both are a thumbs up (CRUMBSUP!) in my book :)

*If you’re not on a paleo/Whole30 diet PLEASE feel free to add some fresh mozzarella. I did this for my husband along with added shredded chicken -it basically formed a lasagna! So many ways to change this up or add to it. Use what you have to make it perfect!
