    These grilled eggplant stacks are layered with tomato, basil pesto and Feta cheese for a colourful low carb eggplant dish.

    This low carb eggplant recipe is delicious and hearty by itself for a light lunch but serve with a side salad or garlic bread sticks for a great low carb dinner. Eggplant slices are great for an eggplant Parmesan, but try them with colourful layers of vegetables and cheese.

    How to make eggplant stacks

    For the basil layer, I used a creamy  avocado basil pesto but you could substitute this with chopped fresh basil.  However, I really recommend the creamy pesto.  I loved the layers of colours too as I like food to be pleasing to the eye as well as the palate.  

    You could make this on the BBQ too.  Just cook the eggplant slices on the BBQ, assemble and throw back on for the feta to cook.

    Recipe Tips

    I blot my eggplant slices after cooking on kitchen paper to remove some of the oil.  They act as sponges whilst cooking and will soak up lots of oil but this oil can soon ooze out!   You could grill them too as sometimes I find that it makes it less oily.

    If you don't have Feta cheese, Mozzarella would be a great substitute. The end result would be a creamy, melted cheese topped eggplant stack.
