Baked Aubergine with cheese and bacon

This baked Aubergine with with cheese and bacon is so simple yet very satisfying. Ideal dish for busy or lazy days. Or serve it as a side dish with roast poultry! I made it with mozzarella cheese, but Cheddar, Emmental or Gruyere would work too. You can add a few pieces of basil leaves too, if you like!
