recipe
- Step 1
Clean & slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch rounds. - Step 2
Clean & slice the tomato into 1-inch rounds. - Step 3
Cut the halloumi or grilling cheese into 1-inch slabs. - Step 4
Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle olive oil over the cheese & rub to coat evenly. Brush the vegetables with pesto on both sides. - Step 5
Once the grill is hot, add a single layer of eggplant & tomatoes. Grill the eggplant 4-5 min per side until cooked. Grill the tomatoes 3-4 min or until grill marks form. Remove each slice from the heat as they are ready & set aside on a plate. - Step 6
Once the veggies are done grilling, add a bit more oil to the pan if needed, then add the cheese in a single layer. Grill for 1-2 min per side or until grill marks form. Remove promptly before the cheese begins to melt. - Step 7
Grill the pita for 2-3 min per side or until grill marks have formed & it's nicely toasted. It can help to press down with a spatula or a flat pan lid! - Step 8
On a plate, spread some more pesto over the grilled pita if you wish. Layer on the tomatoes, eggplant & cheese. Garnish with freshly torn basil, serve & enjoy!
