Eggplant Caprese With Tomato And Basil

    Cuisine:

    I was going to post this recipe and found yours. I too saw this in shape magazine. used dried basil but I'm sure fresh would even be better. I recommend cooking everything on a broiler pan as mine became very juicy by the time it was done. I also would skin the eggplant first but that's just my personal preference. Thanks for posting!
