Think of a cheesy toast with roasted aubergine! Then you are on track for how could this Cheesy Baked Aubergine tastes.
Roasting aubergine is possibly one of the best things you can do with this vegetable. It works great in a salad, added to a ratatouille or with two other main ingredients like this one.
Also don’t worry if some of the cheese melts off and goes everywhere on your baking tray. Scrape off that cheese and enjoy as I swear it will still be yummy!
