2. When cooked, remove the skin of the eggplant and mash with a fork in a bowl.
3. Heat the remaining oil in a pan, and sauté the onion and garlic.
4. After a few minutes, add the tomatoes and cook for five minutes.
5. Add the eggplant to the mix and cook for 5 more minutes.
6. Sprinkle the salt and pepper atop the eggplant.
7. Spread the eggplant on top of a slice of bread so the eggplant covers the entire slice.
8. Next, spread the marinara sauce atop the bread. Place the cheese slice on top of the bread.
