Eggplant Roll Ups

 

This vegetarian dish is great to make for the family and is paired well with pasta, chicken, or a big creamy salad.

INGREDIENTS
1 large eggplant
1 packet fresh chopped basil
1/2 goat cheese packet
sprinkle of oregano, parsley, onion powder, sage, and thyme.
olive oil
Tomato Sauce
4 vine tomatoes
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of Greek Yogurt
Olive oil
sprinkle of oregano, thyme, parsley, sage, basil

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Slice the eggplant into thin circular strips.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with olive oil.
Place the eggplant slices onto the tray, and brush each slice with olive oil.

Bake one side of the eggplant for 6 minutes, then flip each peace and bake the other side for another 6 minutes so the eggplant becomes tender and bendable.

Take the tray out and let the eggplant slightly cool.
In a bowl, mix half the packet of goat cheese, and all the herbs together.

Place a small amount of the goat cheese mixture onto each piece of eggplant, then roll the eggplant up into slices.
Place the eggplant rolls back onto the tray and bake for 15 minutes.
Tomato Sauce

Dice the onion, and garlic. In a saucepan, heat up the olive oil and saute the onion and garlic until translucent.

Meanwhile, dice up the tomatoes.

Add the tomatoes to the sauce pan along with the seasonings and basil and pat down the tomato cubes with a spatula to flatten them and turn the mixture into a sauce.

Add the 1/2 cup of greek yogurt to the sauce pan, and let the whole mixture simmer for about 10 minutes.

Once the eggplant is cooked, place the rolls onto a serving dish, and then pour the tomato mixture on top. Place some chopped basil on top for garnish and serve!
