Description

The key is not to overdo it with oil in the pan. It should be just the right amount; otherwise, it will burn or be too greasy. It can be served hot or cold.

Ingredients

Eggplants - 2 pieces
Cheese Spread - 7.1 oz
Tomatoes - 4 pieces
Garlic - 4 heads
Mayonnaise - 3 tablespoons
Salt - to taste
Herbs - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Slice the eggplants and tomatoes into round slices, as evenly as possible, not too thick.

Step 2

Prepare the cheese sauce by grating hard cheese (for those who like spicy dishes, Dutch cheese is preferable, but regular Russian cheese can also be used) on a fine grater, crushing the garlic cloves, mixing them together, and adding mayonnaise until a homogeneous mass is achieved (dried basil can also be added).

Step 3

Place a large frying pan over medium heat, heat sunflower oil (the oil should completely cover the surface of the pan), and fry the eggplant slices until golden brown.

Step 4

Place the fried eggplants on a large plate, sprinkle each slice with salt, add a teaspoon of cheese sauce, then a slice of tomato. Sprinkle with salt again, and garnish with finely chopped herbs (parsley or dill).
