Pomegranate molasses is tangy not sweet, so cannot be replaced with any other molasses. I would replace it with tamarind soaked in water or balsamic vinegar if I don't have pomegranate molasses. Also, Halloumi cheese (which is goat cheese) goes well with eggplant not any other type of goat cheese. If I don't have halloumi cheese, I would use mozzarella cheese not a goat cheese.

This is my new favorite eggplant recipe! It takes a little time, but they are sooo good. I used feta instead of goat cheese and didn't use the molasses. There was no need for any topping. These would be great as appetizer bites if you used baby eggplants.

I couldn't find any pomegranate molasses (where do you get that?), but followed the recipe otherwise exactly. They were wonderful! I will make again, except I think I will either cut the salt in half or eliminate completely to test (they weren't too salty, but I'll try to eliminate the salt & see if it doesn't sacrifice any flavor). Thank you!

I simplified this recipe a bit in the interest of time, and also substituted feta cheese in place of the goat cheese. I did not have pomegranae molasses, so I tried it both with regular molasses and with ketchup. As I prepared it, I would give this a 3, but as written, I expect it would be better -- hence the rating of 4.
