Step-by-step preparation of an eggplant fan with tomatoes and cheese, a recipe with a photo:
1. Wash and dry the eggplants with a paper towel. Slice it into a fan, lengthwise, in 5 mm plates, reaching with a knife to the base of the stalk. Use young fruits for the recipe, because they do not contain bitterness. If you have ripe eggplants, salt the sliced fruits before cooking and leave for 30-40 minutes to leave the bitterness. Then rinse under fresh water and dry well, then they will cook better.
2. Prepare the sauce. Combine mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, pressed garlic and salt. Mix well.
3. Cut the cheese into thin slices. Wash the tomatoes, dry them and cut them into thin half rings.
4. Grease each eggplant tongue with the prepared sauce.
5. Place tomato slices and cheese slices between the eggplants.
6. Do this with each "tongue" of eggplant.
7. Pour more sauce over the tomato and cheese filling.
8. Place the stuffed eggplant on parchment or baking foil.
9. It is better to wrap each eggplant with parchment so that it is convenient to serve it as a ready-made snack. Otherwise, when baking, they can connect with each other.
10. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send the Fan of eggplant with tomatoes and cheese to bake for half an hour. Serve the finished dish warm after cooking. It turns out it is so satisfying that it can safely become a full-fledged independent dinner.
