If you need an easy side dish this summer, this grilled eggplant with feta cheese is great with anything you’re grilling.
Grilled Eggplant with Feta
This is a really simple summer side dish, the flavor of the oregano comes through, and it doesn’t need any garnish—though a little more dried oregano sprinkled over would never hurt! According to some research I did, the eggplant texture is better—crisper outside—if you grill uncovered. So that’s why the first half is on an open grill, but the cheese took too long to melt uncovered, so I split the difference. Serve this with Broiled Tilapia Oreganata or these Air Fryer Chicken Cutlets.
