   • Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches the optimal temperature for baking these delightful roll ups to perfection.

2. Prepare Eggplant:

   • Peel the eggplant and thinly slice it lengthwise, creating uniform slices that will be ideal for rolling up the savory fillings.

3. Coat Eggplant:

   • Dip each slice of eggplant into beaten eggs, ensuring they are fully coated, then coat them generously with breadcrumbs, providing a delightful crunch in every bite.

4. Fry Eggplant:

   • In a heavy skillet, add enough olive oil to cover the bottom and heat it over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the eggplant slices in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
   • Quickly brown the slices on both sides, creating a golden exterior while maintaining a tender texture inside. Repeat until all eggplant slices are fried to perfection.

5. Prepare Asparagus:

   • While the eggplant is frying, wash and cut the asparagus into 4-inch lengths. Steam the asparagus for approximately 5 minutes until they are tender yet still crisp. Set aside for later assembly.

6. Assemble Roll Ups:

   • Take one slice of Provolone Cheese and fold it in half, placing it on top of a fried eggplant slice. Then, add two asparagus spears on top of the Provolone Cheese.
   • Carefully roll up the eggplant slice, ensuring the fillings are securely enclosed, and use a toothpick to hold the roll up in place. Repeat this process until all slices are rolled into delightful bundles of flavor.

7. Bake Roll Ups:

   • Grease a shallow baking dish with butter, then arrange the prepared roll ups in the dish, ensuring they are snugly placed.
   • Cover the roll ups with the remaining slices of Provolone Cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed for gooey goodness in every bite.
   • Sprinkle grated Pecorino Romano Cheese over the top, adding a burst of savory flavor.
   • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned, creating a tantalizing aroma that will beckon everyone to the dinner table.

8. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the Eggplant Roll Ups from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
   • Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and savor the flavors of Italy with every bite of these irresistible roll ups.
