Appetizer Eggplant fan with tomatoes and soft feta cheese

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. For this recipe, it is better to take smooth eggplants, not curved, then it will be easier to give them the shape of a fan. The blue ones are well washed. Next, cut them lengthwise, but do not cut them to the end. It is necessary to get a fan of lobules. We salt each slice well and leave it for half an hour. So the extra bitterness will go out of the vegetables. Then we wash the eggplants under running water and dry them.

2. Step 2:

   

   Tomatoes are washed and cut into circles or semicircles.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the cheese into thin rectangular pieces. Cheese can be taken round, or rather sausage. There is another option - to rub the cheese on a grater with small holes.

5. Step 4:

   

   Next, take a baking dish or baking sheet. Lubricate with oil and spread the prepared eggplants. Eggplant slices are pushed apart in the form of a fan. In each cut we spread the chopped tomatoes and cheese. Also sprinkle everything with garlic, which needs to be crushed with a garlic press. The blanks are watered with olive or vegetable oil and sent to bake in the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees.

6. Step 5:

   

   The baking time is from 30 minutes to 1 hour. Check for yourself. When the eggplants become soft, they are then ready. I learned about this recipe from a friend who told me how to bake eggplant with tomatoes and cheese. I tried it, I liked it, and then decided to share it with you. I make such eggplants all the time now!
