2 large eggplants

2 tbsp. 

extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 c. cherry tomatoes, quartered

1 c. mini mozzarella balls, quartered

1/4 c. packed basil, torn into pieces

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Slice eggplants lengthwise ½" thick into long “steaks.” Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. 

  2. Place eggplants on grill and cook until tender, but not falling apart, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place on a serving platter.
