Okay, stick with us here. This dish definitely isn’t garlic bread, but it does resemble a pull-apart loaf, so you can hopefully see where we’re going with the garlic bread comparison. If you’ve ever made a cheesy loaf before, where you can easily pull apart different pieces – each perfectly coated in buttery herbs and cheese – you’ll know how yummy it is and what a genius idea it is to recreate it with eggplant!

Usually people are either avid lovers or haters of this purple ingredient, so those in the affirmative camp will quickly hop on the bandwagon and check it out, while those who don’t yet see the greatness of eggplant, might need a little persuading. We can do that. While this dish doesn’t taste like bread, the herb cheese is absolutely to die for, and the eggplant is cooked to perfection and takes on all the buttery, garlicky, cheesy goodness…trust us, this recipe will definitely be one of your new favorites!
