Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
Place the two eggplant halves face down on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven for 45-60 minutes or until the flesh is soft.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Scoop the flesh of the eggplant out, leaving the purple skin behind and place the flesh into a small glass bowl.
In the bowl of a food processor, add the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, salt and eggplant flesh and blend until smooth and thick.
Once the mixture is smooth and thick, slowly pour the olive oil into the food processor bowl while running until it has all been incorporated and is well mixed.
