lemon and salt and pepper to taste
peel eggplant and put in food processor for a couple of turn
mix all items and serve with tortilla chips

or

Since it's so far, why not make a cheese ball any recipe and just place it in the middle of a platter. Shape it in to a small football then cover it with whole almonds so it looks like a pine cone. Let me know if you need a cheese ball recipe.

This make a stunning presentation. It's very easy to do.
