Hasselback Tomato-butter Eggplant With Basil & Feta
  1. Preheat the oven to 425.

  2. Make the butter. Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix to make a paste. If it is not combining, heat in the microwave for 15 seconds.

  3. Place the eggplant on a cutting board with two chopsticks on either side of the eggplant halves and make thin slices throughout. Repeat for the second half.

  4. Make the eggplant. Drizzle some olive oil on the bottom of an oven safe pan. Open the eggplant into a fan, add some salt, then add a smear of the butter to each layer. Next, add basil leaves throughout, every 3-4 layers. Repeat with the feta cheese. Place each half next to each other on the pan, then cover and bake for 35 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 and cook another 25 minutes+ (you can remove the cover or leave it longer if you want it more tender) until the eggplant is tender.

  5. Top with the basil, feta and sunflower seeds.
