Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast the eggplant in the oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the eggplant is roasting, halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and combine them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl. Stir well to create a garlicky oil mixture.
Place the mini Boboli crusts on a separate baking sheet. Brush each crust evenly with the garlicky olive oil mixture.
Layer the roasted eggplant slices over each crust, followed by the cherry tomato halves. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the toppings. If using, add a light sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Bake the prepared Boboli crusts in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the flatbreads cool for 2-3 minutes. Top with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Serve warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of garlicky, savory, and fresh flavors!
