- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds and sprinkle both sides with salt. Set aside for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
Rinse the eggplant slices with water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Brush the mixture onto both sides of each eggplant slice.
Place the eggplant slices on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are tender and have grill marks.
Preheat your oven broiler to high.
Place grilled eggplant slices on a baking sheet. Top each slice with a layer of mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your Low Carb Grilled Eggplant with Cheese!
