Directions
- Preheat an oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place sliced eggplant between paper towels and lightly press out the excess moisture. Arrange eggplant slices on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle slices with Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt and oregano, and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake until slices are browned and crisp, 13 to 15 minutes.
- Mix cream cheese, sundried tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, chopped roma tomato, and basil together in a bowl. Season with Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt and ground black pepper. Add more olive for a thinner spread, if necessary.
- Top the eggplant slices with some of the spread. Serve immediately to maintain the eggplant crispiness.
