Lactantia Cream Cheese Spread Light Portion
Directions
- Grease grill and preheat barbecue to medium-high heat. Slice eggplants lengthwise, into 8 (1/2-inch/1- cm) thick slices. In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice with olive oil, sugar, basil, oregano, salt and garlic.
- Brush lemon mixture over both sides of eggplant. Barbecue until grill marks appear on undersides and eggplant begins to soften, from 4 to 5 minutes. Brush with lemon mixture again, then turn. Dot each eggplant with Lactantia cream cheese, equally dividing it over each slice.
- Continue barbecuing until grill marks appear on undersides, about 4 more minutes. Remove from grill. Cover 4 eggplant steaks with sliced tomatoes and 3 basil leaves each. Top with remaining eggplant, cheese-side down, forming a “sandwich”.
