Tex-Mex Eggplant Melts image

Slices of eggplant are sprinkled with chili powder, baked, then topped with slices of red onion, tomato, avocado and pepper-jack cheese and broiled to melt the cheese. This makes a great side dish with a Southwestern-style dinner. Also great for appetizers. I'm even thinking this would be great for breakfast with a fried egg! I wonder if it would stay on top of the stack? Adapted from Better Homes & Gardens magazine.

These melts were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them! The eggplant was cooked well and the cheese was melted and gooey. I would make them again, but with a milder salsa next time.

Not bad, but not great either. The eggplant was a bit dry and the flavors were just okay. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The eggplant was undercooked and the overall flavor was just okay. I wouldn't make this again.

These eggplant melts were a huge hit with my family! They're so flavorful and easy to make. I especially loved the Tex-Mex twist with the black beans, corn, and salsa. Will definitely be making these again!
