Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your toaster oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a toaster oven baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Toss the cubed eggplant with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread on half of the prepared baking sheet. Brush the portobello mushroom caps with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil on both sides and season with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Place gill-side up on the other half of the baking sheet.
- Roast in the toaster oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the mushrooms halfway through. The eggplant should be golden and tender, and the mushrooms should be softened with slightly crispy edges.
- While the vegetables roast, prepare the tahini sauce by whisking together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and water until smooth and pourable. Season with a pinch of salt to taste.
- Make the Israeli salad by combining diced cucumber, tomato, and parsley in a small bowl. Season lightly with salt.
- Once the mushrooms and eggplant are done, fill each mushroom cap with roasted eggplant, top with chopped hard-boiled egg and Israeli salad.
- Drizzle generously with tahini sauce and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
You can prepare the hard-boiled eggs and tahini sauce ahead of time. For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of amba (pickled mango sauce) or schug (Yemenite hot sauce) on top. The mushrooms can be served as a main dish or cut in half for appetizers. Store any leftover components separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
