A friend of mine, new egger, is desperate to turn out a good grilled eggplant. I've never grilled an eggplant so not much help here.
Any advice to pass on?

Just slice into 1/2" slices, brush with olive oil, salt, pepper and grill direct. -RP

My favorite is brushing with garlic infused olive oil and grilling direct until soft. At the end sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese. Remove when cheese is beginning to brown. You can also cut it in half, brush with oil and bake it until it collapses. At the same time grill some onion slices and a few garic cloves. When they are all done and cooled off scoop out the flesh and put it all in food processor with a few peeled fresh tomatoes and parsley and whatever herbs you like and some olive oil. That makes a nice spread for pita or naan or crackers. Salt and pepper to taste.

Thanks for the eggplant prep idea. But I'm a real BGE newbie and don't know what the temp setting should be...also how long. And when you say "grill direct", does that mean with the top open?

Thanks for the eggplant recipe. Looks great, but as a newbie, I'm not familiar with the vocabulary. Can you tell me what is EVOO?

Yes. "Good eggplant" is an oxymoron.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Monica,
As Hoss said, she needs to salt them before grilling. I let them sit about half an hour and blot dry with a paper towel. Great with roasted peppers, onion, provolone and grilled portabellas on a ciabatta. Lasagna is great too.
