Loved this! Great pictures, too. I used TJ Bal. vinegar - will look for fig. Put all in a zip lock bag with fresh herbs. After turning over on grill I added cheese. WOW - the best way to serve eggplant! I served in a stack with tomato slices and sprinkled fresh herbs over. Will serve this to many at the 2010 Balloon Fiesta! Thank you! A real keeper!

We really enjoyed this recipe. I marinated the eggplant overnight. I used Pampered Chef Italian Seasoning mix and shredded mozzarella cheese (because it's what I had on hand). Grilled the eggplant and at the end I topped it with the tomato and shredded mozzarella until the cheese had melted. Thanks this recipe is definitely a keeper!

This is a perfect vegetarian meal. I served it with couscous on the side and we were stuffed after supper. I will definitely make this again!

This was a solid recipe. It was a nice change of pace. It took longer than 10 minutes for my eggplant slices to cook though. We'll definitely make this again.
