My family LOVES eggplant. As a kid, I turned my nose up at it just because it sounded gross. It really isn't. You just have to know how to cook it- which I didn't, until recently. This cheesy eggplant tastes like a mouthful of butter and cheese. Yummm... And I can justify it because eggplant sounds healthy. Wanna' know how? Good. I took pics...

Start with some pretty eggplant. Any color is just fine.

Peel and slice 3/8" thick. Not 1/2". Not 1/4". 3/8". Got it? Good.

Place the slices on a cookie sheet and sprinkle with sea salt. If you are smarter than me, always use parchment paper underneath for easy cleanup. Then, put a little dab of butter on each one.

Broil until they turn golden brown and are tender. If you don't cook it long enough it will be bitter. I do mine on low.

Put a little cheese on each one. You can use any cheese you want. Here I used American...

...and here I used a Monterrey Jack & Cheddar blend and Mozzarella (and I was smart enough to use the parchment paper.) Cheddar is pretty good, too. Make a variety and taste-test if you want to.
