Eggplant w/ Homemade Pesto
This recipe was re-created from a dish that I tried in an Italian Restaurant one night at a romantic dinner that to seldomly occurs.
I made my own version with my own homemade pesto.
I never used to like Pesto until I had it made fresh from a Farm one night & that all changed. I love pesto now. But I feel that it needs to sit at least overnight for all the flavors to really mesh. If I taste my pesto just made - I don't like it. But I let it sit a few days in the refrigerator and then use it with cooking & it's somehow transformed and unbelievable delicious.
The eggplant recipe is so simple:
Eggplant sliced thin
Salt & Pepper the eggplant
Spread Pesto over eggplant
Top with Fresh Mozzerella
Drizzle with Olive Oil
Bake until cheese is melted & eggplant cooked through.
Sounds delicious!
