I would LOVE eggplant parm with chedder. . . I just don't use chedder b/c it's fattening. I think chedder tastes great on everything. Muenster would def. be gross.
I'm going to try this eggplant parm recipe for tomorrow's lunch b/c I have tons of eggplants and tomatoes from the garden! 2 egg whites 2 1/2 lbs eggplant, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4"-thick slices 1/2 cup plain dried bread crumbs Olive oil spray 1 cup tomatoes, chopped with their juice 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tsp dried 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 4 oz) 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 4 cloves garlic 1/2 cup onion, chopped Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with foil. Spray foil with nonstick cooking spray. In a shallow dish, beat the egg whites and 2 tbsp of water until foamy. Dip eggplant into egg whites, then into bread crumbs, pressing crumbs into eggplant. Place eggplant on prepared baking sheet and spray oil over eggplant slices. Bake 30 minutes, turning eggplant over after 20 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Sauté the onions and garlic with oil spray. In a medium bowl, stir together tomatoes and their juice, basil, salt, pepper, garlic, and onions. Spoon 3 tbsp of tomato mixture into bottom of 9" square glass baking dish. Place half of eggplant over sauce; spoon half of remaining tomato mixture over eggplant; and sprinkle half of mozzarella on top. Repeat with remaining eggplant, tomato mixture, and mozzarella. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and bake for 20 minutes, or until eggplant is piping hot and sauce is bubbly. Serves 4. -------------------- "Evereything in moderation (except beer)."

Over here some "Italian" dishes come with cheddar on top (usually cheddar over white sauce) and yes, it's gross. Stick with mozzerella and a little Parmesan.

I use cheddar (mature, that is) in the bottom layers. Mozzarella and parm. on the top one. And it comes out yummy every time.
