Instructions: Combine all ingredients except eggplant slices and slivered almonds in bowl or food processor. Mix well and adjust seasonings to taste. Place eggplant slices on greased cookie sheet and spread mayonnaise mixture evenly on each slice. Top with slivered almonds. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes until browned.

You can vary the presentation of this starter depending on how long you cook the eggplants. If you take them out as soon as the cheese beings to brown then you will have warm and gooey rounds. If you let the eggplant slices stay in the oven for a few more minutes then you will have a much firmer result.

Chefs Notes: Use low fat mayo.
