Appetizer Eggplant Fan with Tomatoes and Soft Feta Cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   We prepare all the necessary products. For this recipe, it is better to take straight eggplants, not curved, then it will be easier to shape them into a fan. The little blue ones wash well. Next, cut them lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through. It needs to be a fan of slices. Salt each slice well and leave for half an hour. This will remove excess bitterness from the vegetables. Then we wash the eggplants under running water and dry them.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the tomatoes and cut into circles or semi-circles.

3. STEP 3

   

   Cut the cheese into thin rectangular pieces. You can take round cheese, or rather sausage cheese. There is another option - grate the cheese on a grater with small holes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Next, take a baking dish or baking sheet. Grease with oil and place the prepared eggplants. We spread the eggplant slices in the form of a fan. Place chopped tomatoes and cheese in each cut. We also sprinkle everything with garlic, which needs to be chopped using a garlic chopper. Pour the workpieces with olive or vegetable oil and bake in the oven at 180 degrees.

5. STEP 5

   

   Baking time is from 30 minutes to 1 hour. Check it yourself. When the eggplants become soft, they are then ready. I learned about this recipe from a friend who told me how to bake eggplants with tomatoes and cheese. I tried it, liked it, and then decided to share it with you. I make these eggplants all the time now!
