2. Pour a little vegetable oil into a skillet (add more if needed, as eggplants will absorb quite a lot of oil), heat it, and add the eggplants. Fry over medium heat until a crust forms on both sides.

3. Meanwhile, you can prepare the sauce. Place cream cheese in a bowl. Peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press, then add chopped herbs (for fried eggplants with cheese and garlic, you can use dill, parsley, cilantro, basil, or even a pinch of dried herbs). Mix everything well and add a little mayonnaise or sour cream so the consistency is thinner and the sauce spreads easily.
