Very simple and delicious!

Slice the eggplants (lengthwise or crosswise) as thinly as possible and arrange them on boards or plates. Season with salt. Let them sit for about 20 minutes, then pat dry, turn over, salt again, wait 20 minutes, pat dry, and finally season with pepper. Heat a regular frying pan, melt the cooking fat, and add the first eggplants. Let them brown with the lid closed and over medium heat, then toss the toast into the toaster. Check on the eggplants and turn them over if necessary. You may want to use a little more cooking fat, as the bottom of the pan should never be “dry” with eggplant. Then return to the toast. First, spread it with garlic butter (while it’s still warm, of course) and then top with thin slices of the blue cheese. Once the eggplants are browned on the second side, remove them from the pan and place 2-3 slices each while still hot on the prepared slices of toast. Serve hot!
