  2. Place an eggplant slice on top of the sauce, then add another spoonful of sauce over the eggplant.

Can I make the sauce a day before and reheat before assembling?

I would love to make this for Shabbat. Could it be served room temp or it has to be served right out of the oven?

The best would be right out of the oven so the eggplant stays nice and crispy!
