It’s Monday! And I’m firing up the grill. .  again.

But this time, for something different . .

An eggplant for Grilled Eggplant Bun Burger.

If there’s one thing the blogging, being immersed in food and this Whole30 thing has taught me, it’s this.

Let’s celebrate and eat vegetables. Seasonal Vegetables!

This is my go-to guide for knowing what’s in season and when. And it’s a no brainer if you ask me. .  because when fruits and veggies are in season, they are at their best as far as taste and freshness AND they are not as expensive. I love the summers when berries are in season and you can buy the best looking berries, peaches and vegetables and not break the bank! I heavy up on lots of eggplant and zucchini in the summer. And now, I look at veggies such as grilled eggplant and zucchini in a whole new light.

And since I can’t eat bread.  . this low carb burger recipe had to happen.

Pretty damn good you guys.

I grilled my eggplant because I love seeing the grill marks. But you can also bake them too.

And to make this low carb burger with grilled eggplant bun even better. .  I used Maille’s NEW Toasted Onion and Wild Thyme mustard.

You guys. .  this is more than mustard. .  this is an event. An event for your burger and grilled eggplant bun. It has slow cooked onions and wild thyme .  . like there are bits of slow cooked onions in the mustard. It’s beyond delicious!

Ingredients

For the eggplant buns:
