Eggplant Fan Dish, a very rich side dish but also an appetizing second course, good even if prepared in advance and served at room temperature in this disguised and decidedly unusual summer!

In summer, the eggplant is undoubtedly a protagonist of our savory recipes, because even though it must be cooked before enjoying it, it is very versatile, and you can prepare many dishes with various cooking methods.

The Eggplant Fan Dish is a simple but striking summer recipe: a whole eggplant cut into slices and stuffed with tomatoes, mozzarella, and herbs, then baked until it becomes gooey and fragrant.

A tasty idea for a vegetarian dish or a different kind of appetizer!

What ingredients are needed for the eggplant fans?
It’s a recipe with simple ingredients such as:
– eggplants, preferably long ones,
– MOZZARELLA but also scamorza, provola, galbanino,
– ripe vine tomatoes but also cherry DATTERINI.

How to vary the taste of the eggplant fan?
If you want a dish even richer and appetizing, I suggest adding to the individual eggplant slices:
– Genoese pesto,
– olive pesto,
– diced cherry tomatoes,
– slices of cooked ham.
