I had two goals in mind when creating this recipe.
First, to help you love eggplant. That they aren’t bitter and flavorless, when prepared with a little insight. The tricks I share below got me over my fear of eggplants and taught me how to crave these strange purple globes.
And second, show you that muenster cheese is for far more than a deli sandwich.
You only need 5 ingredients to make these Cheesy Marinara Baked Eggplant Slices!

We’re talking modern ingredients and flavors, and a list of attributes that are hard to beat. My new favorite is this Bruschetta Chicken Pasta Salad with a walnut parmesan crumble!
