Steps:
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Or, prepare a charcoal grill with hot coals or set a gas grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush the eggplant slices generously with olive oil on both sides, sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill until charred on the outside and soft on the inside, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
- On a large rectangular platter, layer the tomatoes, mozzarella, eggplant and basil in diagonal rows. Drizzle generously with vinegar and olive oil and sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Serve at room temperature.
CLASSIC CAPRESE SALAD
This classic summer dish doesn't get any simpler or more delicious. Use different-colored heirloom tomatoes for the prettiest salad, and buffalo milk mozzarella for the best tasting one.

Steps:
- While mozzarella is cold, slice it into 1/4-inch slices. Let it sit, loosely covered, to come to room temperature while you prepare the tomatoes.
- Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick slices, leaving them in a single layer on the cutting board as you go. Sprinkle generously with salt.
- On a serving platter, arrange the mozzarella, tomato slices, and whole basil leaves so they overlap slightly. Pour any tomato juices from the cutting board over the dish. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper, and drizzle with plenty of oil. Top with reserved basil, and serve.

FRESH CAPRESE SALAD WITH CRISPY EGGPLANT
I used fresh, ripe tomatoes with plenty of basil and creamy buffalo mozzarella. Delicious on its own, the flavor and texture is amped-up by freshly fried, crispy, Panko-breaded, slices of eggplant. I wanted to lighten up this dish a bit, so instead of deep-frying, the dredged eggplant slices are actually baked at a high temperature with a bit of avocado oil.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 425F.
- Wash and dry your eggplant. Begin to slice thinly, about 1/4 of an inch rounds. You should get about 8 nice rounds.
- Place the rounds on a paper towel covered board and lightly sprinkle with kosher salt on both sides. Place another layer of paper towels on top, followed by another heavy cutting board. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. We are slightly drying the eggplant before dredging.
- Once the oven is at temperature, add 1/3 cup of refined avocado oil to a cookie sheet and place in the hot oven. Allow to heat, about 5-8 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Spread the eggplant slices on a large tray and sprinkle generously with salt. Leave for 30 minutes; the eggplant will "sweat out" it's bitterness. When ready, pat the eggplant dry.
- Place the eggplant slices and the tomato slices on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Roast in the 425 F degree heated-oven for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven, but leave the oven on for step # 5.
- When the eggplant and tomatoes are cool enough to handle, bring a small baking dish (about 6"x 9") and begin to assemble the Caprese salad. Arrange the eggplant, tomato, cheese and basil in the baking dish forming a tight row. Repeat the pattern (as you see in the tutorial picture below) until you fill the baking dish side-to-side.
- If you like, place the baking dish in the oven to heat for 7-10 minutes (just until the cheese melts slightly).
- While the Caprese salad warms up, make the basil vinaigrette. In a small food processor, blend the chopped garlic with the basil leaves, olive oil, lime juice and spices.
- When ready, remove the roasted eggplant Caprese salad from the oven and spoon some of the basil vinaigrette on top. Place the extra basil vinaigrette in a bowl to serve next to the salad. Slice a loaf of crusty bread to serve along. Enjoy!
