Honey Flavors and Colors
Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.
Directions
Brush eggplant slices lightly with olive oil. Grill or broil until just browned turning once. Set aside.
Brush bread slices lightly with olive oil. Grill or broil quickly to just toast. Watching carefully so that the bread does not burn. Set aside.
To assemble, alternate eggplant slices, cheese slices and tomato slices in a circular pattern on a large plate. Sprinkle with basil. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and honey. Drizzle over vegetables and cheese. Sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper.
