Crispy Eggplant Caprese Salad

Crispy baked eggplant, mozzarella cheese, and fresh tomatoes served with balsamic glaze. Delicious as a salad or an appetizer. This tasty Crispy Eggplant Caprese Salad is absolute perfection.

The softness of the mozzarella cheese contrasted with the crispy eggplant and paired off with a fresh tomato. The sweet balsamic glaze just brings it home and balances out all the flavors.

This recipe is perfect to serve during parties or get together’s since it’s so elegant and very simple to assemble. You can also have it as an entree salad on a weeknight.

However you decide, you’ll be glad you did. My husband was all over it when I made it last night and would not even let me take the pictures for this post. I had to take them fast and quick before he started stealing all the tomatoes.

The inspiration for this Crispy Eggplant Caprese Salad came a few years ago when I had it at a local Italian restaurant that closed.

They served a similar dish sporadically and I crossed my fingers every time I went there hoping they had it until finally, I said to myself: This is pretty easy! I can make it myself..

And that’s how this delicious recipe was born.

Now that summer is here I am craving for fresher recipes instead of heavy meals and here in Miami is all about salads.

And this Crispy Eggplant Caprese Salad gives it a meatier texture than the regular Caprese.

Now that you try this recipe you will never go back to just cheese and tomatoes.

I used store-bought balsamic glaze for this dish since it’s easier and convenient. If you can’t find it in your regular supermarket, just grab a saucepan and simmer balsamic vinegar until it reduces and becomes thicker.

You won’t believe how sweet it comes out. Try it with ice cream.
