Instructions

Bake the eggplants, to do this, preheat the oven to 200 degrees, cover the baking sheet with baking paper. Brush the eggplants with vegetable oil (1 tbsp. l.) and cover with a fork in several places. Bake the eggplants for 40 minutes or until soft. Allow to cool to a warm state (so as not to get burned when removing the skin), remove the skin or remove the eggplant pulp with a spoon.
In a dry frying pan, fry some pine nuts and walnuts (separately).
Dry the slices of bread in a dry frying pan. Grate the cheese or cut into small cubes, use the parsley along with the stems, putting a few leaves to decorate the finished dish.
Put the baked eggplant pulp, cheese, parsley, peeled garlic, two types of nuts in the blender bowl (leave some cedar nuts to decorate the dishes). Grind everything to the desired consistency. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, soy sauce and lemon juice. Season with black pepper and whisk again in a blender.
I whipped it so that there were pieces of cheese and nuts, which is why I cut the cheese into cubes, and do not grate it. Salt is not needed, due to soy sauce and cheese, the dish turns out to be quite salty.
Actually, the pate can be served on pieces of dried bread. Spread the pate, forming a slide, on a piece of bread. Garnish to taste with parsley, pine nuts and cheese, grated on a fine grater.
