- In a bowl, stir together mozzarella, goat cheese and shredded basil.
- Pat eggplant dry.
- Arrange 1 layer of eggplant in a baking pan and brush with some of the oil.
- Broil 4 inches away from heat source for 3-4 minutes, or until golden.
- Turn, brush with remaining oil, and broil 3-4 minutes more.
- Transfer to a large platter to cool.
- Spread a mounded teaspoon of the cheese mixture lengthwise down the middle of each eggplant slice, leaving a 1 inch border at the wide end and, beginning at the narrow end, roll up jelly roll fashion.

- Transfer to serving plates, spoon sauce over and garnish with basil.
