If you love eggplant, you will want to try this baked eggplant recipe. This will be a great salad for lunch or a side dish for a perfect dinner with grilled chicken or steak.
We slice the eggplant then season it with olive oil, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper, then stuff with cheese and tomato slice and bake in the oven.
If you want to reduce the bitter taste of eggplant, slice it and salt it well for about 2 hours. This would release its bitterness then wash it off with water once you are ready to cook it.
