Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
Heat grill. When it's hot, prepare eggplant. Remove stalk and bottom, and cut thin slices lengthwise (about 8 slices). Do not prepare eggplant ahead, the flesh will turn black. Generously brush both sides of eggplant slices with lemon, oil and vinegar mixture. Grill for about 15 minutes, turning them once.
While eggplant is grilling, prepare feta mixture. In a small bowl, combine feta, basil, lemon, and pepper.
When eggplant is ready, spread one rounded tablespoon feta mixture on each slice. Serve either hot or cold.
Recipe Notes
You'll probably have some leftovers feta mixture. Use some in a simple salad or with pasta, you'll love it!
