Eggplant doesn't need a lot of preparation to taste great. Specialty varieties like Lilac Bride often lack the astringent flavor and big seeds that Italian Globe eggplant sometimes has.
Place the eggplants on a baking sheet and brush both sides with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat a gas grill to medium-high, or build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill. Arrange the eggplant slices on the grill grate, and cook about 6 minutes, flipping once, until tender and browned. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with basil vinaigrette.
