Steps:
- Prick eggplant, place them in a baking pan and bake at 350F in the oven for about one hour or until soft (or broil the eggplant for about 15 mintues turning several times, check if soft).
- Allow skin to shrivel and turn black so as to give a smoky flavor to the salad.
- Peel eggplant while still hot and chop flesh into pieces. Drain if necessary over a colander.
- Blend eggplant with garlic, oil, lemon or vinegar, salt and pepper together until smooth.
- With the fork work together cheese and pesto until combined.
- Spoon eggplant cream in cups (as smaller as prettier).
- Place tomato pieces over the cream.
- Spoon a smaller amount of cheese-pesto over tomatoes.
- Top with a small piece of feta or Camembert cheese and decorate with herbs.

BAKED EGGPLANT WITH FETA CHEESE
From about.com and is described as follows: "The classic combination of eggplant, tomato, and herbs is enhanced by the addition of feta cheese to create a delicious meatless appetizer or main dish." Haven't tried it yet but sounded yummy and easy to make.

CHEESY EGGPLANT (AUBERGINE) PESTO STACKS
I found this recipe on the internet somewhere, but have tweaked it a bit. Eggplant is one of my favorite vegetables, but I haven't found all that many recipes where it is allowed to take center stage; it is usually buried under so many other ingredients and flavors. This recipe is also a nice way to use up left-over pesto. Preparation time is mainly standing time for the eggplant as it drains its bitter juices.
