Savory and cheesy Eggplant Parmesan Casserole
Ingredients List
-
2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing, or as needed
-
2 eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch thick slices
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 onion, chopped
-
¼ pound mushrooms, sliced
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
-
¾ teaspoon dried basil
-
¾ teaspoon dried oregano
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
Coat the eggplant slices with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and arrange them in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the eggplant is tender and golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Once done, remove from the oven and lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C).
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions, mushrooms, and garlic until the onions become soft, around 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce, basil, and oregano, bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Layer half of the roasted eggplant slices in a 2-quart casserole dish. Top with half of the sauce, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Repeat the layering with the remaining ingredients.
-
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
