    On parchment paper, layer eggplant slices and bake until tender and light golden brown, approx. 20 minutes. Remove eggplant and carefully turn over slices. Cool on baking sheet until read to use.

    In a small bowl, mix cheeses together and stir until mixed. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide cheese into 8 equal portions. Place each on a slice of eggplant beginning on the short side. Roll up the eggplant slices and arrange the rolled slices in a shallow dish or casserole seam-side down and tightly packed into one layer.
