To prepare this eggplant parmesan, you can heat it in a conventional oven or a microwave. For oven heating, preheat your oven and place the contents of the container into an oven-safe dish. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the eggplant is heated through. If using a microwave, transfer the eggplant parmesan to a microwave-safe plate and heat on high power for a few minutes, stirring halfway through, until thoroughly warmed.
