Ingredients

• 2 whole Eggplant (medium-sized)
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the eggplants in half lengthwise and score the flesh with a knife in a crisscross pattern, ensuring not to pierce the skin.

Step 3

Brush the cut sides of the eggplants generously with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Place the eggplants cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and golden.

Step 5

While the eggplants are roasting, prepare the garlic cream sauce. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 7

Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well and let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Whisk in the Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Once the eggplants are roasted, transfer them to a serving platter, cut-side up.

Step 10

Spoon the garlic cream sauce generously over the eggplants, ensuring an even coating.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
