Eggplant soaks up the flavor of tomato, garlic, and herbs beautifully, and a layer of melted cheese on top turns simple vegetable slices into a dish hearty enough to serve guests.</p> <p>The key to getting good results is prepping the eggplant properly. Salting before baking draws out any bitterness and removes excess moisture, so the slices hold their shape under the weight of the cheese and tomato instead of turning mushy. If the eggplants are young and fresh, you can shorten this step to 10-15 minutes or skip it, but it&rsquo;s worth doing for larger, older ones.</p>
