Eggplant Parmesan Cups

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium eggplant, diced (about 3 1/2 cups)

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
All-purpose flour
1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons shredded fresh basil leaves
