Eggplant Roulade with Feta Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 large eggplant
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup tomato sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Cut the top and bottom from the eggplant. Slice the eggplant lengthwise into thin slices, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. In a small bowl, combine feta cheese, parsley, mint, garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Spoon a layer of the feta mixture onto each eggplant slice, leaving a 1/2-inch border along the edge.
5. Gently roll up each of the eggplant slices and secure with a toothpick.
6. Brush the tops of the eggplant rolls with olive oil and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
7. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each roulade with a spoonful of tomato sauce.
8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the eggplant is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
