This recipe is a great way to use up leftover eggplant. It's also a healthy and delicious meal that can be served as a main course or side dish.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but I really enjoyed this dish. The smokiness of the eggplant was tempered by the sweetness of the tomatoes and the creaminess of the goat cheese.

The grilled eggplant was a bit too smoky for my taste, but the tomatoes and goat cheese were delicious. I would try this recipe again with roasted eggplant instead.

The grilled eggplant, tomato, and goat cheese combination is a fantastic vegetarian main course or side dish. The smokiness of the eggplant pairs perfectly with the tangy tomatoes and creamy goat cheese.
