Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 eggplant medium
  • 2 tomatoes sliced
  • 5 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced

Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients: slice the eggplant into one inch slices and arrange them on a paper or clean kitchen towel to absorb the moisture. Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, roughly chop the fresh basil. Preheat the grill at medium heat.
  • Mix the marinade ingredients together ( 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder) in a shallow glass dish.
  • Place eggplant slices into the marinade and toss. Marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add the eggplant slices to the hot grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the slices become soft.
  • Arrange the caprese platter by layering the eggplant, tomato slices and cheese. Sprinkle with chopped fresh basil and a drizzle of balsamic glaze if desired.
