Steps
To make your Fast Grilled Eggplant Roll with Prosciutto and Arugula, the first step is to grill the eggplant.
Trim the eggplant, cut it into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Grill them on a griddle or a simple pan, the slices should be well browned on both sides. Lightly salt the eggplant slices.
On a work surface, place a rectangle of plastic wrap and lay the slices of eggplant, slightly overlapping them to create a rectangle without spaces.
Now you can proceed with the filling, spread the spreadable cheese on the eggplants, layer the slices of prosciutto on top, then a layer of arugula, Parmesan cheese sliced or grated, and finally the pitted olives sliced.
At this point, roll up the eggplants on themselves with the help of the plastic wrap, starting from the narrower side.
When you have finished rolling, close the grilled eggplant roll with prosciutto and arugula like a candy and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least half an hour, this step will help during the cutting process, making your roll more compact.
After the resting time, serve your grilled eggplant roll with prosciutto and arugula still cold and cut into slices about 3/4 inch thick.
It will be appreciated both for its presentation and for its deliciousness!
