Notes
➔ Slice the eggplant thin so it cooks very fast.
➔ Use fresh basil for the best and brightest taste.
➔ Salt the eggplant slices to remove the bitter juice.
➔ Buy high quality cheese for a much better melt.
➔ Do not overfill the dish to avoid messy spills.
➔ Let it rest for ten minutes before you cut.
