Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

    Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for about 15 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.

  2. 2

    Grill the Eggplant

    Preheat the grill to medium heat. Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and grill marks appear. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Caramelize the Onions

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Sauté the Spinach

    In another pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, layer the grilled eggplant, followed by the caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, sautéed spinach, and slices of fresh mozzarella on top.

    Finishing Touch

    Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and additional olive oil before serving. Enjoy your Greenwich Village!
