I substituted olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I felt the eggplant soaked up too much of the oil, unfortunately. Otherwise, this is a pretty good recipe for eggplant.

Mine ended up more like a mexican pizza since I didn't have the jack cheese. I reduced the olive oil to just over 1/4 cup and was able to brush each slice without any leftover. After grilling on both sides, I added a thin layer of mozzarella and let it melt on the grill. Topped it with homemade salsa, let it heat through on the grill and served with parmesan on top. Wife said: "This tastes like pizza!" This is a keeper recipe.

Awesome recipe! I added Cumin to the oil rub and grilled some Zuc's too. I served with rice, slightly scorched corn tortillas, frest avocado, cilantro, and some fresh pico de gallo. Yummy. Best Eggplant dinner so far!

I never would have thought to put a little Mexican spin on eggplant like this - I'm so used to the typical Italian/Mediterranean style recipes. But I was pleased with this recipe! I added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the oil and used Fresh Tomato Salsa from this site. I chose to leave the skin on the eggplant. Nice recipe to add to the "meatless meal" files, although I think it needs a little something to make it a hearty meal, maybe some rice on the side. Thanks for sharing!

I fried them, and I didn't realize how much oil eggplant can soak up, so I ended up with very soppy eggplant which wasn't very appetizing. If you want to try this, follow the directions and grill them. Or else limit the oil you use when frying.
