Serves:
Ingredients
- 2 large aubergines (eggplants)
- 2 cups of tomato sauce
- 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp of dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
-
Slice the aubergines into 1/2 inch thick rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 10 minutes to remove excess moisture.
-
Rinse the aubergines and pat them dry with paper towels.
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and dried oregano and cook until fragrant.
-
Add the sliced aubergines to the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
-
In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce. Arrange a layer of aubergine slices on top.
-
Sprinkle grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella over the aubergines. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheeses on top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
