When I was growing up, my family would often gather around the table for a big Italian-style meal. I have fond memories of my mother and grandmother cooking up delicious dishes with the freshest ingredients, and I have carried on that tradition with my own family. One of my favorite dishes to make is this Simply Delicious Italian Grilled Eggplant. It is a delicious combination of fresh eggplant, feta cheese, olives, and herbs, all grilled to perfection. This dish is perfect for any gathering, and it’s sure to be a hit with everyone!

To make this dish, I start by preheating the grill. I then slice the eggplant into thin slices and brush them with a mixture of olive oil and Italian herbs. Next, I place the eggplant slices on the preheated grill and let them cook until they are tender and slightly charred. Once the eggplant is cooked, I top it with feta cheese, olives, and a sprinkle of freshly chopped herbs. It’s a simple dish with big flavor, and it’s sure to be a hit at any gathering.

This Simply Delicious Italian Grilled Eggplant dish is a great way to enjoy the flavors of Italy without having to travel! It’s an easy dish to whip up and it’s sure to be a crowd pleaser. Whether you’re hosting a family gathering or just looking for a delicious meal, this eggplant dish is sure to hit the spot. Enjoy!

Tips and Variations:
  • For an extra boost of flavor, try adding some garlic or red pepper flakes to the olive oil before brushing it onto the eggplant.
  • For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese and use vegan cheese instead.
  • To make this dish spicier, add some red pepper flakes to the olive oil mixture.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the eggplant in a skillet on the stovetop.
