Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Eggplant
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 ounces Goat cheese
- 1 large Tomato
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 2 teaspoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
While the eggplant is roasting, slice the tomato into thin rounds and set aside. Wash and pat dry the fresh basil leaves.
Once the eggplant is finished roasting, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly for easier handling.
To assemble the sandwiches, take one slice of roasted eggplant and spread a thin layer of goat cheese on it.
Place a slice of tomato and a basil leaf on top of the goat cheese layer.
Top with another slice of roasted eggplant to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze over the top of each eggplant sandwich before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious appetizer, side dish, or light meal.
