Dip half of the eggplant slices into the egg and then into the Parmesan cheese on one side then place on a baking sheet Parmesan side down.

Top each slice with a sprinkle of raw mozzarella (or pepper jack) cheese and pepperoni. Sprinkle with garlic powder, basil, and oregano.

Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with crushed red pepper if desired.

My kids loved dipping them in organic tomato and basil pasta sauce, but they are great all by themselves!
