These aubergine sliders make a great alternative to a veggie burger. For anyone trying to cut back on carbs, think of them as base-free pizzas. When baked, aubergines turn deliciously soft and nutty in texture. We’ve topped them with a stringy gruyere but any cheese you fancy will work, try salty crumbled Feta and some sliced black olives for a Greek twist or sliced buffalo tomatoes, basil and gooey mozzarella for an Italian influence

These would make a great fancy starter; just add a ball of rocket leaves and a drizzle of pesto around the plate.
