Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make eggplant casserole in the oven? Wash the tomato, remove the stem by cutting it in half.

Step 2

Step 2
Cut the tomato into half rings.

Step 3

Step 3
Wash the young eggplants. Trim off about a couple of centimeters of flesh from the side of the stack. She wonʼt be needed. And chop the eggplant into thin rings: no more than three millimeters wide.

Step 4

Step 4
According to my observations, the most delicious eggplants are those that have seeds like these. With them, any dish will be a bomb. If your eggplants are too dense, you can blanch them (keep them in boiling water) for a couple of minutes before baking, then plunge them into ice water for a couple of minutes, or fry them on both sides in a frying pan for a couple of minutes.

Step 5

Step 5
Peel the garlic clove and press it onto the cutting board with the flat side of the knife. This will make it more convenient to work with him.

Step 6

Step 6
Finely chop the garlic.

Step 7

Step 7
Mash the cheese until it forms coarse crumbs. This is convenient to do with a fork.

Step 8

Step 8
Place vegetables and cheese in rows in a baking dish, pre-greased with sunflower oil. First eggplants, then tomatoes, a little cheese and garlic.

Step 9

Step 9
Alternate rows until you run out of ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste. And sprinkle with sunflower oil. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees for half an hour. Keep in mind that everyoneʼs oven is different. Cooking temperatures and times may differ from those indicated in the recipe. The vegetables should become soft with a nice crispy crust.
