Directions:

Step 1【For The Eggplant】

First, wash and dry the eggplants, then remove the two ends and cut the short side into thin slices about 5 mm thick. You will have to obtain in total about 40 slices at least.

Step 2

Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, season with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and salt.

Step 3

Bake in the oven at 350°F/177°C for about 15 minutes.

Step 4

After this time, take the eggplants out of the oven and let them cool.

Step 5 【For The Tomato Sauce】

Season the tomato puree with a drizzle of oil and salt in a separate bowl. Add oregano and mix.

Step 6【Eggplant Roses】

In the meantime, unroll the puff pastry and make 4 strips about 2.5 inches wide, cutting them lengthwise.

Step 7

Take each strip of pastry and distribute the tomato puree along the entire length with a brush or spoon.

Step 8

Sprinkle part of the grated cheese on the tomato and arrange 5 slices of eggplant on top of the strips, leaving an edge out about a little less than 1 inch.
