Preparation
Step 1
Slice the eggplant and sprinkle with some salt on each side. Set aside for 30 minutes, then rinse and pat dry. This will take some of the bitterness out of the eggplant, especially if you’re using a larger/older fruit.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 425*. Brush each side of the eggplant slices with olive oil, then sprinkle both sides 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper. Place the eggplants on a cooling rack that’s on a baking sheet, and bake until they are softened and a little brown, about 6 minutes.
Step 3
Spoon the tomato sauce on the eggplant slices, then add the cheese and toppings.
Step 4
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Broil it for a minute if you’d like some extra crispy toppings.
