Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
¼ cup half-and-half
1 extra large egg
¼ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
salt and black pepper to taste
½ cup bottled marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Preheat a grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill eggplant slices until cooked through and evenly browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix half-and-half, egg, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl.
  • Arrange a layer of eggplant slices in each of 2 individual gratin dishes. Sprinkle each with 1/8 cup Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Spoon half the marinara sauce into each dish. Top each with a second layer of eggplant slices, more salt and pepper, half the ricotta mixture, and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Place the dishes on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the custard sets and the top is browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
