Directions
1.Preheat broiler.

2.Slice eggplant lengthwise, about 1/4-inch thick then cut each slice crosswise in half.

Broil about 5 inches or 2nd to the top shelf level of the oven from the broiler for about 7-10 minutes or until eggplant starts turning golden brown.

6.Drizzle each stack each with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar then sprinkle with desired amount of fresh oregano.
