Ingredients

Makes 4 servings. Check items off as you go.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 large tomato thinly sliced
  • 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1 medium eggplant thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 F. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a medium nonstick skillet. Sauté onion until tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to an 8-by-8-inch or 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  2. Sauté the garlic for 1 minute. Add the crushed tomato, basil, oregano, and salt, and cook gently over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
  3. Spread a layer of this mixture over the onion layer.
  4. Add a layer of eggplant and follow with a layer of tomato, then sprinkle ⅓ of the mozzarella cheese over top.
  5. Repeat layers of eggplant, tomato, and cheese until all ingredients are used. Finish with a layer of mozzarella cheese.
  6. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until layer of cheese is slightly browned.
