Ingredients

2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup marinara sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Olive oil for brushing

Instructions

Prepare the Eggplant: Sprinkle the eggplant slices with salt and let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Rinse and pat dry.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Eggplant: Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until tender and grill marks appear.
Assemble the Stacks: On a baking sheet or grill-safe dish, layer the grilled eggplant slices with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Finish on the Grill: Place the assembled stacks back on the grill for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove from the grill, garnish with fresh basil, and serve hot.
