Here’s a step-by-step guide to making this delectable toast:
Ingredients:
- Fresh loaf of bread, sliced
- 1 medium eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 2-3 tomatoes on the vine, sliced
- 1/2 cup Best Foods Mayonnaise
- 1-2 garlic cloves
- Fresh parsley
- Salt
- Avocado cooking spray
- Butter, softened
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup easier and ensure your eggplant doesn’t stick. - Prepare the Eggplant:
Wash the eggplant thoroughly, then cut it into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray each side of the eggplant slices with avocado cooking spray, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. This will help enhance the flavor and ensure the eggplant gets nice and crispy. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the eggplant to cool slightly. - Make the Garlic Aioli:
While the eggplant is roasting, prepare the garlic aioli. In a small ramekin, combine the mayonnaise with freshly pressed garlic. Start with one clove of garlic, and if you like a stronger garlic flavor, add the second clove. Mix well and set aside. This creamy garlic aioli will be the perfect base for your toast. - Toast the Bread:
Slice your bread of choice, making sure the slices are not too thin. Spread a little softened butter on both sides of each slice. Heat a nonstick skillet over low heat, and toast the bread until it’s golden brown on each side. This will give you a crispy, buttery toast that’s ideal for holding all the delicious toppings. - Assemble the Toast:
Once your toast is ready, spread a generous amount of garlic aioli over each slice. Layer on the roasted eggplant slices and fresh tomato slices. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness. - Serve and Enjoy:
Your Garlicky Roasted Eggplant Tomato Toast is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it as a delightful breakfast, a light lunch, or a flavorful appetizer.
Pro Tip:
If you happen to have any leftover eggplant slices, don’t worry!
You can make a low-carb version by spreading some of the garlic aioli directly on each eggplant slice, topping with a tomato slice, and seasoning with salt and pepper.
Garnish with parsley and store any extras in the refrigerator for a quick snack later.
