Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 small eggplants, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
4 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 baguette, halved lengthwise
6 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place eggplants in a colander set over a bowl; toss with salt. Let stand 30 minutes. Rinse well, and let drain. Press to remove excess liquid.
  • Arrange eggplants in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/4 cup oil; season with pepper. Bake until tender, about 20 minutes. Set aside.
  • Preheat broiler. Melt butter with remaining tablespoon oil. Brush over cut sides of bread. Broil until top edges are just golden. Arrange eggplant in a single layer over bread. Top with cheese. Place on baking sheet; broil until cheese has melted and is bubbling, 1 to 2 minutes.

I thought the grilled cheese was a bit bland. It could have used more seasoning.

I would have liked the eggplant to be a bit more crispy, but overall this was a great grilled cheese.

I'm not a big fan of gorgonzola, but this grilled cheese was still really good. The eggplant and mozzarella were great together.
