Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400 degrees F.
Slice the eggplant into ½-inch-thick rounds and place in a single layer on a baking sheet.
To make the marinade, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, kosher salt, and pepper in a shallow baking dish (9x13) until combined.
Place the sliced eggplant in the marinade and ensure that they are coated with the liquid on both sides. Let them rest for 10 minutes. When ready to grill, transfer the marinated eggplant slices onto a plate, shaking off the excess marinade.
Place the eggplant slices directly on the grill grate and cook for 4-5 minutes until lightly golden browned. Using a spatula, flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until tender.
Remove and top with feta cheese, if using. Serve while still warm.
