Cooking instructions
- Prep eggplant and bread — Slice eggplant into 1/2 inch thick rounds and baguette into 12 slices. Brush eggplant and bread slices lightly with olive oil.

- Assemble bruschetta — Spread cheese evenly over each toasted baguette slice. Top with a grilled eggplant slice, then spoon the tomato garlic mixture over the eggplant.
