Eggplant and Halloumi Roll-Ups image

Baked slices of eggplant filled with a tangy halloumi cheese mixture are a great appetizer or side dish, even for people who normally don't enjoy eggplant. If you can't find Halloumi cheese, feta may be used instead.

Time 25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 eggplant, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup grated halloumi cheese
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons chopped fresh mint
1 pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Season the eggplant slices with salt and pepper on both sides. Arrange onto the prepared baking sheet so the slices do not overlap. Bake in the preheated oven until the eggplant has softened and become slightly dry, about 10 minutes.
  • While the eggplant is baking, combine the halloumi, lemon juice, lemon zest, mint, and cayenne pepper in a bowl until evenly blended; set aside until the eggplant has cooked. Place a dollop of the cheese mixture onto the narrow end of each eggplant slice. Roll the slices up into cylinders and serve.

This recipe is a fail. The instructions were unclear and the roll-ups were a mess.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my roll-ups didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a bit too oily and the eggplant was mushy.

I would have liked the roll-ups to be a bit crispier, but overall they were still very good.

I followed the recipe exactly and the roll-ups turned out perfectly. They were cooked evenly and the flavors were well-balanced.

I'm not a huge fan of eggplant, but I loved these roll-ups. The halloumi and tomato sauce were the perfect complements.

These roll-ups were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it. They were so delicious and impressive-looking.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've made it with different types of eggplant and halloumi, and it always turns out great. I also like to add different herbs and spices to the filling to change up the flavor.

These eggplant and halloumi roll-ups were a hit at my last dinner party! The combination of flavors and textures was amazing, and they were surprisingly easy to make. I'll definitely be making them again.
