1 serving

20 minutes

Eggplant with bacon is a vibrant combination of flavors and textures, where the juiciness of eggplants harmoniously intertwines with the rich saltiness of bacon. This recipe traces back to European gastronomic traditions, where vegetables are often paired with meat and cheese to create rich and hearty dishes. Baked slices of eggplant covered with mayonnaise, garlic, and fresh tomatoes acquire a tender consistency, while bacon adds crunch and a rich aroma. The finishing touch is melted cheese that binds all the ingredients together into a perfect gastronomic delight. The dish can be served as a hot appetizer or as a main course, for example with crispy bread or fresh salad.
