Recipe's Ingredients

  Quantities for people → Recalculate
  • fine salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • olive oil
  • 400 g small to medium eggplant
  • 100 g gouda cheese with cumin seeds

  • Recipe preparation steps

  • 1
    Preheat broiler.
  • 2
    Cut a series of 1/5" thick slices of eggplant sufficient to line two 175-ml ramekins. Place the slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil on both sides. Cook the slices under the broiler until they start to brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • 3
    Dice the remaining eggplant into 5/16" cubes. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan over high heat. Add the eggplant cubes, season with salt and pepper, and fry until they start to soften.
  • 4
    Preheat oven to 355ºF.
  • 5
    When the slices are cooked, line the ramekins. Place a one-eighth inch thick slice of cheese in the bottom of each ramekin. Add a spoonful of cooked eggplants cubes. Gently push the cubes down in the ramekin to remove any air spaces. Repeat with more cheese and eggplant cubes until the ramekins are full.
  • 6
    Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and cook until heated through, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • 7
    Unmold the ramekins directly onto individual heat serving plates.
  • Ready !
