One of DH favorites, he can't get enough! Have a loaf of crusty Italian bread rubbed with some roasted garlic to go with this along with some Caesar salad! Mmmmmm....... :) Ingredients:

1 teaspoon dried basil |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
salt, to taste |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
chopped fresh herb (basil, oregano, parsley, etc.) (optional) |
1/2 cup fat free mozzarella cheese |
1 cup reduced-fat mozzarella cheese |
olive oil flavored cooking spray |
2 tablespoons low-fat parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
3. Cut eggplant into 1/2 inch thick slices; season with salt and pepper.
4. Place eggplant on baking sheet; spray tops lightly with olive-oil spray.
5. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 20 minutes, or until tender.
6. In the meantime, simmer tomato sauce with basil, garlic, and oregano until heated through.
