EASY EGGPLANT,


If you have a George Forman type grill (mine is a GE knock-off), get it really hot, preheated.


Slice the eggplant into 1/2'; slices, thinly coat with olive oil.


Put into the hot grill, let cook til soft and grill marks are present. Salt to taste.


It is so succulent and tasty!


For a sandwich, after cooking the eggplant, coat two halves of a bun with olive oil, put on the hot grill and let get a bit crispy. Put the eggplant on the bun (add some cheese, lettuce, tomatoes if you like, I like mine plain) and enjoy.


I do the same thing to make EGGPLANT PARMESON. I don't let the eggplant get too soft. Take it off the grill, put on heat proof casserole dish, put a little marinara sauce on it, some slices of mozzarella, and put under the broiler until the cheese melts.


This also makes a great sandwich, particularly if you toast or grill the bun to make it a bit crispy.


Easy and yummy!!!!
