Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 eggplant, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 small tomatoes, chopped
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach leaves
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
3/4 cup pasta sauce
2 teaspoons italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush eggplant slices with olive oil on both sides, and place them on a baking sheet. Sprinkle garlic powder over the top. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, tomatoes and spinach. Cook and stir for a few minutes until fragrant, and the tomatoes have released their juices. In a medium bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  • Place the eggplant slices in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with the spinach mixture. Spoon the cheese mixture over the spinach, and spread into a thin layer. Pour the spaghetti sauce over the cheese layer. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the top. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  • Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until heated through and the eggplant is easily pierced with a fork.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

The cheesy filling was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll try a simpler eggplant recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but this dish was actually really good. The cheese and spices really helped to balance out the flavor of the eggplant.

The eggplant slices were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

This dish was a great way to use up some leftover eggplant. It was also a nice change from the usual eggplant Parmesan.

The eggplant slices were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less oil next time.

This eggplant dish was a hit with my family! The cheesy, gooey filling was perfectly complemented by the crispy eggplant slices. We'll definitely be making this again soon.
