Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, halved lengthwise, then sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch wide strips
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
4 italian eggplants, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4 inch thick halfmoons
salt & freshly ground black pepper

  • Meanwhile, preheat the grill or broiler.
  • Toast the bread on the grill or under the broiler until golden brown on both sides.
  • Stir the parsley into the eggplant mixture, spoon the mixture onto the toasts, and serve.
