Cheesy Eggplant Bake

Make eggplant cheesy and nutritious.

Eggplant doesn't have to be oily, it can be baked with beautiful sauce and texture. I like to serve it up with my breakfast of scrambled eggs or as lunch with a piece of meat or bread.

This dish is delicious alongside dinner as it makes a perfect side dish or a vegetarian accompaniment to your favourite food.



Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients

3 eggplants
1 bottle of tomato puree
1 can of basil and tomato puree
1 brown onion
1 red onion
2 cloves of garlic
Half a red capsicum
Olive oil to taste
Mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon of oregano

Method

  • Slice eggplant thinly.



  • Dice red onion, brown onion and garlic.



  • In a bowl add the onion, garlic and diced capsicum.



  • In a baking dish, pour some extra virgin olive oil and spread eggplant out.

  • Spread onion, garlic and capsicum out over the eggplant. Do this several times until you layer at least 4 layers of eggplant.

  • Top with tomato puree and canned tomato.



  • Bake in the oven on 200 degrees until the eggplant is soft and moist (approximately 40 minutes).

  • Layer with cheese and oregano.



  • Take out of the oven and leave to rest.



  • Serve up with salad or meat.
