Mediterranean Roast Eggplant with Whipped Goat Cheese

This elegant dish contrasts warm, tender roasted eggplant with cool, airy whipped goat cheese. Finished with a drizzle of honey and bursts of pomegranate, it makes for a stunning vegetarian main or a sophisticated side dish served with crispy flatbread.

Ingredients

2 large eggplants (aubergines), sliced lengthwise
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
5 oz soft goat cheese, room temperature
2 tbsp Greek yogurt
1 tbsp honey
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 flatbreads or pita breads
2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
1 tbsp fresh mint leaves, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Score the flesh of the eggplant slices in a diamond pattern without cutting through the skin. Brush generously with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Roast the eggplant for 35-40 minutes until the flesh is golden brown and very tender.

  4. 4

    While the eggplant roasts, prepare the whipped goat cheese. In a small bowl, whisk together the goat cheese, Greek yogurt, half the lemon juice, and half the lemon zest until smooth and creamy.

  5. 5

    In the last 5 minutes of roasting, brush the flatbreads with the remaining olive oil and place them directly on the oven rack or on a separate tray to toast until warm and slightly crispy.

  6. 6

    To serve, spread the whipped goat cheese onto plates. Top with the warm roasted eggplant.

  7. 7

    Garnish with a drizzle of honey, pomegranate seeds, fresh mint, and the remaining lemon zest. Serve immediately with the toasted flatbread.
