Baked eggplants with tomatoes, onions, and homemade cheese are a simple yet refined dish of European cuisine. Eggplants soaked in the aromas of garlic and spices become soft and tender, while sweet tomatoes add a slight tanginess. Onions add zest, and homemade cheese fills the dish with a creamy texture that smoothly blends all the flavors together. This treat is perfect for cozy family dinners as well as festive feasts, accompanying meat and vegetable dishes. It can be served as a standalone dish or used as a side. It's easy to prepare: ingredients are chopped, mixed, baked, and enhanced to perfection with fresh herbs. Warm, fragrant, and rich in flavors, it will delight even the most discerning gourmets.
