Ingredients
1 eggplant, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch (0.5cm) thick
5 Roma tomatoes, sliced 1/4-inch (0.5cm) thick
1 red onion, sliced 1/4-inch (0.5cm) thick
2 Tbs (30mL) extra-virgin olive oil

1 Tbs (6g) fresh thyme, finely chopped
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/2 cup (35g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or Parmesan-style soy cheese*

Remove from oven, and let stand 15 minutes before serving.
* Allergy notes: People following a corn-free diet should avoid iodized salt since it contains dextrose, which should be avoided by those allergic to corn. The egg protein lysozyme is an unlabeled additive in some cheeses. People allergic to eggs should eliminate any cheese in this recipe.
