  • Spread mixture on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly and then spoon into a casserole dish.
  • Top with mozarella.
  • It can be refrigerated at this point to be served later.
  • Before serving, bake or microwave, covered, until it is hot (if it has been refrigerated) and cheese is melted.

I've tried many eggplant dishes, but this one is by far the best. The secret is in the cooking technique - roasting the eggplant first brings out its natural sweetness and smokiness. The end result is a dish that is both hearty and satisfying.
