Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer. Brush both sides with melted butter or tallow. Season with salt and pepper. Roast 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until softened and lightly golden.
Remove eggplant from oven. Spread 1–2 tsp marinara sauce on each slice. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan. Top with chosen protein and season with oregano and garlic powder.
Return to oven and bake 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted, bubbling, and slightly browned.
Garnish with fresh basil, extra Parmesan, or red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot.
Enjoy the recovery time, or make-up anything you missed from last week.
