Ingredients

• 2 medium eggplant
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 14 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup, shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the eggplants into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Sprinkle both sides lightly with salt and let the slices sit on paper towels for 20 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat them dry.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Spread a small amount of the tomato sauce mixture on the bottom of the dish.

Step 6

Layer the eggplant slices over the sauce in a single layer. Top with a portion of the tomato sauce, a portion of the shredded mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheeses on top.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
