Ingredients
Scale
2 medium eggplants, sliced into ½ inch rounds
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cups diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Instructions
Prepare the eggplants: Sprinkle the sliced eggplants with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes. Rinse and pat dry afterward.
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle some olive oil. Add the diced onions and garlic, sautéing until they're soft and fragrant—about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes: Stir in the diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Let this simmer for about 10 minutes.
Roast the eggplants: Place eggplant slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Combine: In a large baking dish, layer the tomato mixture, roasted eggplant, and mozzarella repeatedly, finishing with mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
Bake: Bake the casserole for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
