This is one of my favorite eggplant dishes - eggplants, tomatoes, and bell peppers are baked in the oven in a creamy feta sauce. To die for!

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggplants
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or more to taste
1 splash olive oil
4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, chopped

Steps:

  • Slice eggplants in such a way that the slices are still connected at the bottom. Sprinkle with salt and set aside for 20 minutes. Wash off salt under running cold water and pat dry.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
  • Mash feta cheese and cream together with a fork. Mix in garlic, parsley, basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Place eggplants with the cut-side up into the prepared baking dish. Arrange tomato slices and bell pepper pieces alternately in between the eggplant slices. Pour feta-mixture over eggplants and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until feta cheese is melted and eggplants are cooked through, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with more parsley.
