Step 1
Char both eggplants directly over a gas flame or under the broiler, turning every 2 minutes until blackened all over, ~8 minutes total.
Step 2
Cool eggplants for 2 minutes, then scoop the soft flesh into a food processor, discarding the charred skin.
Step 3
Add tahini, 4 garlic cloves, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until silky, ~90 seconds.
Step 4
While blending, heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high until shimmering, then add sliced garlic.
Step 5
Fry garlic, stirring constantly, until pale golden and fragrant, ~3 minutes. Pour oil and garlic into a small bowl to cool.
Step 6
Transfer baba ganoush to a serving bowl, make a shallow well in the center, pour crispy garlic oil over the top, and serve with warm flatbread.
