Baked Eggplant with Garlic and Cheese image

Everyone in my family is a proponent of healthy eating, and as a result I have to exercise great care in picking ingredients and recipes. As a rule, eggplants absorbs too much oil when being cooked in a pan. This recipe uses no oil, which makes it lighter.
