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.

ROASTED EGGPLANT AND FETA



Roasted Eggplant and Feta image

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.
