I really don't like the store bought ones, but I find I can make a "cheesy" sauce out of basic white sauce and spices and nutritional yeast. I also make a grated "parm" from ground up macadamia nuts, garlic powder, salt, hemp seeds, and nutritional yeast--it's really so much tastier than parmesan in my opinion . I could probably make a decent version of the eggplant parm by using my nut-based sprinkle for the parmesan, and my white sauce with the right seasonings to mimic mozzarella. Miso also goes a long way to make a cheesy flavor.

That olive spread sounds yummy and doable! Thank you for sharing!
