Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Slice the eggplants lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle both sides with salt and let stand for 10 minutes, then pat dry.
• Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and bake for 8 minutes. Flip and bake for 5 more minutes, until tender. Let cool.
• In a bowl, combine goat cheese, bacon, 0.5 cup mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture on each eggplant slice, roll up, and place seam-side down in the dish.
• Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the rollups and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella.
• Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until bubbly.
• Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
