Eggplants with Cheese and Garlic (Rolls)

Description

A tasty appetizer for any gathering. Eggplants pair well with nuts, especially walnuts, as well as fresh herbs and different types of cheese, so each roll can be made with its own filling, or you can mix several together and wrap them all up. The appetizer is served cold and garnished with chopped herbs. It can be served warm or chilled.
