Well spotted, that was the idea

Oh my gosh, you've already made it!
I love that you used oregano, it fits perfectly! If dried basil works for you then that's fine. Just a little tip from me: give basil pesto a try, it's worth it, believe me.
Otherwise, there's an alternative if you like rocket salad / arugula : rocket salad / arugula pesto mixed with almonds - being sweet they dampen the bitterness of the rocket salad a bit, add oil and Parmesan, a pinch of salt and you've done it. It's also great as a pasta sauce

Perhaps try cutting the aubergine slices slightly less thick

Great idea to use a skewer at the bottom of the eggplant

Arugula pesto with almonds? Lovelyy!
