Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Arrange the eggplant slices on a stone baking sheet or a parchment-lined baking sheets. Season eggplant with salt, using your clean fingertips to gently press the salt into the eggplant flesh.
Bake the eggplant for 15-18 minutes.
Remove the eggplant from the stove and spoon a large dollop of marinara sauce on top of each eggplant slice. Use the back of a spoon to spread the sauce evenly over the surface of each eggplant slice.
Sprinkle the cheese or “pine nut” cheese on top of the marinara sauce, add a few chopped tomatoes and scatter the shredded basil on top.
Turn the oven broil to low and return the baking stone/sheet to the oven for 3-5 minutes. Season with pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Notes

To make pine nut crumbs place pine nuts in a mini food processor and pulse until finely ground. Pine nut crumbs can be made up to one week in advance and stored in an air-tight container in the freezer.
