How it's made!
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

- While the eggplant is grilling, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon slices, fresh mint leaves, Sherry or white wine vinegar, and grated garlic in a small mixing bowl.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange the grilled eggplant rounds on a large serving platter, slightly overlapping them.
- Spoon the labneh over the eggplant in small dollops, spreading it out evenly.
- Drizzle the dressing over the eggplant and labneh.
- Serve the grilled eggplant immediately while it is still warm.
