Steps:
- Place the eggplant in a colander. Sprinkle generously with salt and let stand 30 minutes. (This removes the excess water from the eggplant.) Rinse the eggplant and arrange in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Pat dry. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (see Cook's Note).
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Brush the eggplant and bread slices with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle the eggplant with salt and pepper.
- Line a small rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray. Toss the grape tomatoes, vinegar, honey and the remaining tablespoon olive oil on the foil. Bake the tomatoes until they burst, about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grill the eggplant until browned and tender, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Grill the bread until toasted and grill marks appear, 1 minute on each side. Rub the cut sides of the garlic on the bread. Set aside.
- Transfer the tomatoes to a medium bowl. Coarsely chop the eggplant and add to the tomatoes. Add the chopped basil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the ricotta onto the grilled bread. Top with the eggplant mixture and garnish with additional basil. Cut the bread in half, if desired.

GRILLED TOMATO BRUSCHETTA
Plum tomatoes have less juice and more pulp than many varieties, making them ideal for this recipe. Grilled bread, topped with fresh tomatoes tossed in vinaigrette, and fresh basil tastes like summer.

GRILLED BRUSCHETTA
This is my go-to appetizer in the summer when tomatoes and basil are fresh from the garden. The balsamic glaze takes this bruschetta recipe over the top. I like to use a Tuscan herb- or basil-infused olive oil for this. But, it's great with just plain olive oil, too. -Brittany Allyn, Mesa, Arizona

Tips:
- Choose high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are plump and have a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Sear the scallops quickly over high heat. This will help to create a nice caramelized crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the scallops will steam instead of sear and will not brown properly.
- Use a non-stick pan. This will help to prevent the scallops from sticking and breaking.
- Season the scallops simply. A little bit of salt and pepper is all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the scallops.
- Top the scallops with your favorite toppings. Bruschetta is a classic topping for scallops, but you can also try other toppings such as salsa, pesto, or a simple squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Grilled scallops are a delicious and versatile seafood dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you serve them as an appetizer or a main course, grilled scallops are sure to impress your guests.
