Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggplant

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

  2. 2

    Grill the Eggplant

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil. Grill the eggplant for about 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and grill marks appear.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On a serving platter, arrange the grilled eggplant slices. Top each slice with a few pieces of prosciutto, a sprinkle of asiago cheese, and a handful of arugula.

  2. 4

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the aged balsamic vinegar over the layered eggplant, prosciutto, cheese, and arugula. Season with black pepper to taste.
