Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice 2 medium eggplants into 1/2-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until combined.
  3. Step 3: Brush both sides of the eggplant slices generously with the olive oil mixture. Scatter 10 halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the eggplant.
  4. Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, until the eggplant is tender and starting to brown at the edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove the tray and sprinkle 150g crumbled feta cheese and 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano leaves evenly over the hot eggplant slices.
  6. Step 6: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 8 minutes until the feta softens and slightly melts. Serve warm.
