Comment préparer Eggplant Cream With Feta Pesto

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prick 2 large eggplants (about 1.5 lbs total) all over with a fork.
Place eggplants directly on the oven rack and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the skin is completely shriveled and blackened, and the flesh is very soft.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the eggplant and roughly chop the flesh.
Place chopped eggplant in a colander and let drain for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
In a food processor or blender, combine the drained eggplant, 2 cloves garlic, ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or red wine vinegar), 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
In a small bowl, combine ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, ¼ cup pesto (store-bought or homemade), and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix until well combined.
Spoon the eggplant cream into small serving cups or glasses.
Top with 1 cup chopped cherry or grape tomatoes.
Dollop a spoonful of the feta pesto mixture over the tomatoes.
Garnish each serving with a small piece of feta cheese (about 1 tbsp per serving) and fresh herbs like basil or oregano.
