    Is the egg plant underneath the tomato in the plated pic?  Looks good, I really can't wait for the garden to start producing.

    The tomatoes kinda dwarf the eggplant but the eggplant is under there, I swear.

    Those look awesome! I haven't had eggplant often, but that could make a believer out of anyone! Thanks for posting!!

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Another gem!  How thick did you cut the eggplant?  How long did you let them cook?  Temp?   This looks perfect for a light summer dinner.

    @SaltySam - The egg plant was cut about 3/8-1/2" thick. I sweated them with salt for about 30mins before going on the egg @400ish raised direct. I flipped at 10mins and again at another 10min mark. Once they were starting to get tender I added the tomatoes for maybe 2 mins per side then stacked and added feta & basil   Once I had pulled from the egg I added the Glaze.

    That looks delicious!! An interesting variation could be melting some fresh mozzarella, fontina, or goat cheese on the eggplant on the egg, maybe even get some browning.

    Even by itself with no meat, that's a mighty fine meal! Love the balsamic too, I bet it finished it perfectly.

    Brother you did a fine job on that. Those pics are impressive.

    That looks good!  I'll have to do these when the veggies are plentiful from the garden.
