Grilled Eggplant and Goats Cheese Tower

[heart_this] · Aug 30, 2007 · 10 Comments

Grilled Eggplant and Goats Cheese Tower

It is getting near the end of the week and I was looking into cleaning out my fridge. Among other things I had a half an aubergine, a half of a roasted red pepper, some marinara sauce and some goats cheese. I remembered seeing a photo of some stacked eggplant slices and decided to make an eggplant tower. I really like grilled eggplant so I grilled the eggplant slices first. It turned out pretty good though it was a bit light. The eggplant that I had was rather small and there was not enough left for a second so I added a salad to complete the meal.

    This looks SO delicious. I’m pretty sure I could eat goat cheese on anything and it would be delicious, but I know I’d love it with eggplant. I am trying this next week for sure. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

    Congratulutions – you are getting Elly to try eggplant, and she’s actually excited about it! (I’ve tried to convince her in the past, to no success.) Eggplant and goat cheese are wonderful together!

    That is a pretty impressive meal for a “fridge clean out”. My fridge clean outs usually don’t make the blog. They are typically some sort of macaroni casserole/campbells’s soup sort of concoction….(just throw breadcrumbs on top and you’ll OK)

    Oh Kevin (said in whisper tones) 🙂 You make me want to eat eggplant and I am not an eggplant lover.

    I’ll have to try this one. I’m always looking for new ways to use eggplant that does not require a lot of oil.
