Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a baking sheet, arrange the sliced eggplant in a single layer. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the eggplant evenly.
- Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is tender and lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- While the eggplant is roasting, prepare the flatbread. Brush each piece with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring an even coating.
- Once the eggplant has cooled, layer the roasted slices over the oiled flatbread.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the eggplant.
- Return the flatbread to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped mint and basil.
- Slice the flatbread into pieces and serve warm for a delicious appetizer or light meal.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider marinating the eggplant slices in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before roasting.
- You can also add other toppings like sun-dried tomatoes or olives for an extra Mediterranean twist.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flatbread or pita.
