1
Prepare the Eggplant
Slice the eggplant into 1/2 inch thick rounds, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry. Grill the eggplant slices on a preheated grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until tender and marked.
2
Prepare the Tomato and Cheese Mixture
In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
3
Assemble the Dish
On a serving platter, layer the grilled eggplant slices, followed by sliced tomatoes, and then the ricotta mixture. Top with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil leaves.
4
Drizzle and Serve
Drizzle olive oil over the assembled dish and serve immediately, or let it sit for a few minutes to combine the flavors.
