This is a Greek recipe. This can be used to top a salad of baby spinach or other greens, pasta, couscous or any other similar thing. Or, scoop it up on small bites of good crusty bread, or serve as a variation of eggplant bruschetta. It can be served as an appetizer, a side dish, or a meatless main course.

What makes this simple, quick side dish so delicious is the feta, marinated in fresh garlic, lemon, and fresh oregano, that begins to soften and melt as soon as it hits the warm eggplant.
