CHEESE SAUCE:

Eggplant:
Cut eggplant into noodle like shapes (I also peeled the outside off). Place on a baking sheet, spray with olive oil spray and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes (or until soft).
Pour cheese sauce over eggplant and enjoy!

CRUNCHY TOPPING:
2 TBS butter
1/2 cup blanched almond flour
Mix the butter and almond flour until small crumbles. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle over cheesy eggplant.
