1 medium eggplant
garlic powder or minced garlic
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (or more for a larger eggplant)
grated Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling

Peel eggplant and slice into approx 1/2-inch thick slices. Mix spices and butter, melt in microwave or stove-top.

Arrange eggplant slices on flat baking sheet - something with raised side is best. Coat up-side of eggplant with butter/spices mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top of coated eggplant slices.

Bake uncovered at 400°F for approximately 35 minutes.
