Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC). While it's warming up, slice the eggplants into 1/4 inch slices.
Lay the slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
