Tasty Grilled Eggplant Recipes

Eggplant is not just limited to Parmigiana style, it can be prepared in so many different ways. One of my favorite and easiest is barbecue Eggplant. This dish made a big hit with my summer guests last year and it was so easy to prepare.

Barbecue Eggplant with Tomatoe & Basil

1/4 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1/4 inch-thick slices
2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
4 little fresh mozzarella cheese balls , sliced
1/3 cup basil leaves

Preheat a greased barbecue on medium-high. Combine oil,
garlic and salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush both sides of
eggplant with oil. Barbecue eggplant for 3 minutes on
each side or until tender.
To assemble; place eggplant slices on serving plates. Top evenly with
tomatoes, mozzarella and basil leaves. Season with salt and
pepper.

You can serve this with toasted bread or just eat as a side dish to your meal.
