1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 c. shredded Cheddar cheese

Pour 1/2 cup of the sauce into a 12 x 7 x 2 inch baking dish. Cut eggplant into halves lengthwise and crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. Layer 1/3 of eggplant and 1/3 cup sauce in baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover tightly with Saran wrap and microwave on high (100%) 6 minutes; rotate baking dish 1/2 turn.
