Ingredients
- 2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil) for garnish
- Optional: cherry tomatoes or olives for added flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Eggplant: Brush both sides of the eggplant slices generously with the marinade. Let them sit for about 20-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, heat it over medium heat on the stovetop.
- Grill the Eggplant: Place the marinated eggplant slices on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the eggplant is tender and has nice grill marks.
- Add the Feta: Once the eggplant is cooked, remove it from the grill and arrange it on a serving platter. Top generously with crumbled feta cheese.
- Garnish: Sprinkle fresh herbs over the top, and, if desired, add cherry tomatoes or olives for an additional burst of flavor.
- Serve: Enjoy your Grilled Eggplant with Feta warm as a side dish, appetizer, or even as a part of a light vegetarian main course.
