Implementation

1. Wash and cut the eggplant into slices one centimeter thick.
2. Spread the slices in a pan lined with oil paste and with a brush smear them with oil on both sides.
3. Sprinkle them with a little salt and bake them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees in the air for about 20 minutes or until you see that they have softened and become colored.
4. During baking, turn them once so that they get color on the other side. Once they are ready, place them on a plate.
5. Then prepare the mint pesto. Put all the ingredients in the blender and grind until the mixture is homogeneous.
6. If necessary, add a little more olive oil. Bake the halloumi on the grill or in a non-stick pan for about 2 minutes on each side.
7. Cut the buns in half. Put the bottom of the buns on a plate and place 1-2 eggplant slices on top.
8. Put 1-2 spoons of mint pesto and cover with halloumi. Cover with the second piece of buns and serve.
