1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon basil
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
6 ounces Mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced

directions

Sprinkle both sides of eggplant slices lightly with salt and place between layers of paper towels. Let stand for 1 to 2 hours, rinse and pat dry.

Combine the olive oil, vinegar, garlic oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Place the eggplant slices on a grill over moderate heat and baste with oil mixture.

Turn and baste frequently until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Top each slice with a slice of cheese and grill an additional 2 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt.
