Instructions

1. Cut the eggplant into slices and place them in a covered drainer with salt (this removes the bitterness). Let them rest for 30 minutes, then wash well to remove salt. Dry them well. Place the eggplant slices in a hot pan with a drizzle of oil and fry for a few minutes on both sides.

2. Place the eggplant slices on a baking sheet, top with sun-dried ​​tomato, add Mozzarella and roast for a few minutes, until cheese is melted… Be generous with the cheese! Serve hot on a bed of sprouted seeds.
