Tomatoes:

1. Place halved and quartered tomatoes into a bowl. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and sprinkle in the dried oregano, chopped basil, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper and toss well. Set aside.

Eggplant:

1. Take eggplant and cut into rounds at a thickness of better than 1/8 of an inch or approximately 1/2 cm thickness.
2. Place rounds on a parchment lined (11"x16" 28 cmx40cm) baking sheet . Brush with the remaining olive oil on both sides and also season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat grill to 450 degrees F and rub grill with some olive oil. Place rounds on hot grill and cook for one minute a side. Just enough to get those lovely grill marks.
4. Take off grill and place back on the parchment lined baking sheet.

Assembly:

1. Pre-heat oven to 395 degrees F.
2. Take the bocconcini and tear into small morsels. Place 3-4 morsels on rounds depending on the diameter of the round.
3. Top with the dressed tomatoes again using 3-4 depending on the size of the eggplant round.
4. Place eggplant bruschetta bites into the oven on the middle rack. Bake for 7-8 minutes. Take out of oven and serve!

Variation for tomatoes:

1. If you want to elevate the tomatoes with sweetness and lusciousness, this is how you could do it. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.  Dress the tomatoes with the olive oil, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, parsley and toss. Place those on a parchment lined baking sheet and into the middle rack of the oven they go. Bake for 30 minutes, then take out of oven and let cool. Then follow the steps of assembly for the bruschetta bites. Get oven to 395 degrees, and place on middle rack and bake for 5-7 minutes if you are doing the grilled eggplant version, or 13 minutes f you are doing the raw eggplant variation.
