For a richer flavor, consider grilling the eggplant slices before layering. This will add a smoky char that complements the other ingredients.
Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta sauce or add vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
If the top layer of goat cheese begins to brown too quickly, cover the dish with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.

    I found that salting the eggplant before cooking helped to remove some of the excess moisture. Great recipe!

    Next time, I'll try adding a layer of pesto for an extra burst of flavor.

    I added some roasted red peppers and it was amazing! The goat cheese is the perfect creamy counterpoint to the eggplant.
