Ingredients
- 2 medium Aubergines (eggplants)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 150 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Low-fat parmesan cheese
- 400 grams Diced tomatoes
- 1 handful Basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Slice the aubergines into 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick rounds.
Step 3
Lay the aubergine slices on a baking sheet and lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
Step 4
Bake the aubergine slices in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and lightly golden.
Step 5
Meanwhile, finely chop the garlic and mix it with the diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano in a bowl.
Step 6
Remove the baked aubergine slices from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F).
Step 7
In a baking dish, spread a layer of the tomato mixture, then place a layer of aubergine slices on top. Sprinkle some mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese over the aubergines.
Step 8
Repeat the layers until all the aubergine slices and tomato mixture are used, finishing with a generous topping of both cheeses.
Step 9
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
