Easy Baked Eggplant


Note: I didn't have Pecorino Romano Cheese at home when I was preparing this meal, so I made it without it. And I used canned tomatoes instead. I served it with cooked in a closed skilled potatoes, so they were half steamed-half fried :) I was a delicious meal. I lived for a long time in Central Asia and we ate eggplant often, so it felt like home eating this meal.
