Pull Apart Aubergine

If you love cheesy pull apart bread, but don’t want to indulge yourself on carbs, this pull-apart aubergine is the answer. You can easily serve it as a main course or as an appetizer for any family gathering. I used a mix of fresh mozzarella and vintage Cheddar for the recipe, but if you are fancy that “cheese pull” effect, then replace vintage Cheddar for the shredded Mozzarella. You may not need all the pesto sauce, use the leftover for the noodles or double the recipe.

 
Pesto
  • 1 Large aubergine
  • 50 g Mini Mozzarella balls, sliced
  • 50 g cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 50 g Cheddar, grated (or mozzarella if you love that “cheese pull” effect)
  • 30-40 g Fresh basil
  • 120 ml Olive oil
  • 1-2 tbsp Parmesan, grated
  • 2-3 Garlic cloves, chopped
  • Sea salt and pepper
  1. Cut the aubergine crosswise, but be careful not to cut all the way through. Place them in a baking dish.
  2. For pesto, place the basil, olive oil, parmesan, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl and blend everything together. Spoon the pesto between the cubes of aubergine.
  3. Cut the cherry tomatoes and mini mozzarella into thin slices, place them on top of each other and also place them in the aubergine.
  4. Sprinkle the grated Cheddar or mozzarella over the aubergine and bake at 180C/350F for 40 minutes.
  5. Garnish with some thinly sliced basil leaves and enjoy!

Very picturesque and eye pleasing, I would probably worry that the aubergine would stay raw and watery in the inside as it often does.

Las berenjenas rellenas son manjares para nosotros, nos gustan con todo, pero personalmente las prefiero con verduras y queso, tal y como las has preparado tú. Ricas, ricas.

My gosh that sounds good, and looks so appetizing. What an excellent way to use eggplant! I don't care for pesto (my granddaughter is horrified!), so is there something you can recommend as a substitute? Or that i could use in place of the basil? I wondered about tapenade.

Sue, tapenade sounds wonderful, some salsa would work great too.
