Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large eggplant (about 1 1/2 pounds)
8 ounces creme fraiche or sour cream
Juice of 1 lemon
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Pierce eggplant several times with a fork, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning every 5 minutes, until skin is blackened all over and flesh is very soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand until cool enough to handle.
  • Peel off and discard blackened skin; place flesh in the bowl of a food processor, and puree until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl. Stir in creme fraiche and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature with toasted bread, if desired.
