Ingredients
2
eggplant(s)
medium/large, or 6 fairy tale eggplant
olive oil
2
balls
buffalo mozzarella
or 6 slices regular mozzarella
4
tomato(es)
kosher salt and pepper
Parmesan cheese
basil
(optional)
Instructions
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Starting at the thin end of the eggplant, slice each eggplant into 5 or more slices, leaving the eggplant connected at the top, to make a ‘fan.’
Place several tablespoons of oil in the bottom of the skillet or dish and arrange the eggplant in a pinwheel pattern (see photo!).
Slice buffalo or regular mozzarella thinly and place between each eggplant slice.
Slice tomato thinly and add that to the mozzarella between each eggplant slice.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over whole dish. Fresh basil (chop or chiffonade) can be added here if desired.
Drizzle olive oil over the dish.
Sprinkle shredded parmesan over entire dish.
Bake at 400 for 15 - 25 minutes or until eggplant is soft and cooked through.
