Ingredients:

2 large eggplants, sliced into 1/2 inch thick rounds

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

Lemon wedges, for serving

Preparation Steps:

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of each eggplant slice with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Grill the eggplant slices for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until they are nicely charred and tender.
While the eggplant is grilling, mix together the softened butter, parsley, thyme, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
Once the eggplant is done, remove from the grill and immediately top each slice with a dollop of the herbed butter, allowing it to melt over the warm eggplant.
Serve the grilled eggplant steaks warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
