Preheat the griddle pan for about 10 minutes until it's very hot.

Use a serrated knife to cut the eggplant into four discs.

Place the eggplant discs on the hot griddle pan.

Cook the eggplant for 30 seconds, then turn it 90° to create a lattice pattern.

Cook for another 30 seconds, then turn the eggplant discs 90° again for the final lattice pattern.

Remove the eggplant from the griddle and place it on a rack to cool, preventing sogginess.
