Eggplant with Herbed Goat Cheese
Ingredients
  • 1
    small eggplant (about 12 ounces)
  • Salt
  • 1
    5 1/2 - 6 ounce package soft goat cheese (chevre)
  • 1
    tablespoon snipped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
  • 1
    teaspoon onion powder
  • dash ground black pepper
  • 1
    tablespoon milk (optional)
  • 2
    tablespoons olive oil
  • Lemon-pepper seasoning or ground black pepper
  • 1
    small tomato, seeded and chopped
  • Snipped fresh basil
Directions

1. Wash eggplant; do not peel. Cut the eggplant crosswise into about sixteen 1/2-inch slices. Sprinkle each side of the eggplant slices lightly with salt. Place them on paper towels; let stand for 20 minutes. Blot the surfaces of the slices with paper towels.

2. In a small bowl combine the cheese, the 1 tablespoon basil, onion powder, and dash pepper. If mixture seems dry, add some of the milk.

3. Brush the eggplant slices with oil. Place the eggplant in a single layer on an unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 5 minutes. Turn; broil 3 to 4 minutes more or until tender.

4. Remove eggplant slices from oven and spread with the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning or pepper. Broil for about 1 minute more or until cheese is heated through.

5. To serve, top each with chopped tomato and additional snipped basil. Makes 16 servings.

6. Make-Ahead Tip: Combine cheese mixture as directed above. Cover and chill up to 24 hours.
