Receta Grilled Eggplant Caprese Stacks

by Anne

Sliced eggplant is grilled and layered with fresh tomatoes, then topped with fresh mozzarella cheese and touch of balsamic vinegar in these Grilled Eggplant Caprese stacks. Eggplant is one of those foods that you either love or you despise. I am on the love side, but I will say that if it’s not cooked enough it can taste pretty bad, and I’ve come to the conclusion that you can’t really over cook eggplant unless you burn it. Eggplant is in full season and so are fresh juicy tomatoes and basil, so how could I not grill up these little stacks?  This dish is low carb, filled with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and deliciousness. The key is to slice the eggplant thin, add a sprinkle of sea salt and allow them to sit for 30 minutes before grilling.  Serve these grilled eggplant Caprese stacks as the main course with a side salad like this loaded chopped salad and whole grain pasta or serve as a side dish or appetizer.     Grilled Eggplant Caprese Stacks   Save Print Grilled eggplant Caprese stacks are a good source of vitamins and minerals.
