Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggplant
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Fresh mozzarella
- 8 slices Tomatoes
- 16 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 4 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds. You should have about 16 slices in total.
Brush both sides of each eggplant slice with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Place the eggplant slices on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the grilled eggplant slices from the grill and set them aside to cool slightly.
To assemble the stacks, place one eggplant slice on a serving plate. Top it with one slice of mozzarella, one slice of tomato, and a basil leaf. Repeat the layers one more time, ending with an eggplant slice on top.
Drizzle each eggplant stack with balsamic glaze.
Serve immediately while the eggplant is still warm, and enjoy!
