Preparation of the aubergines

Cut the aubergines in half lengthwise.

Cook them briefly over a high heat with the finely chopped onion, garlic, basil, oregano, pepper, and salt.

Scoop out the inside of the aubergine and mix it with some of the diced vegetables. Put the preparation back into the aubergine skin and decorate with a few cherry tomatoes.

Cover the top with sticks of Entremont Comté and grill until cheese is crispy. Serve with a tomato sauce flavoured with basil and oregano.
