Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Grill
  • Small Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 Eggplant Sliced
  • 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Large Tomatoes Sliced
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Sliced
  • garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper, dried Italian seasoning to taste
  • 1 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • Fresh Basil sliced into ribbons.

Instructions

  • Spread the sliced eggplant out on a sheet pan or cutting board and sprinkle heavily with salt. Let sit for 20 minutes. Using a paper towel wipe all of the salt and water that has sweated out of the eggplant.
  • While the eggplant is sweating, start your charcoal, if needed.
  • Place your balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan to simmer on low to medium-low heat, stir occasionally until the vinegar has reduced by 75%. Don't let it boil!
  • Brush your eggplant, tomato, and mozzarella slices with olive oil and sprinkle with the spices.
  • Put eggplant on grill and cook for 2 minutes. Flip and add tomatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove eggplant and top tomatoes with mozzarella slices, cooking only until just starting to melt.
  • To assemble the stacks, place grilled eggplant on a plate. Top with the tomato/mozzarella. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar reduction and top with fresh basil.
  • Enjoy this recipe immediately! It'll cool fast. Make sure to have other food items ready to go once the eggplant hits the grill.
