Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium eggplants, sliced

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  5. In a baking dish, layer half of the marinara sauce, followed by half of the eggplant, half of the mozzarella, and half of the Parmesan.
  6. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
  7. Top with breadcrumbs and sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  9. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, you can bake the eggplant slices instead of frying them.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for extra flavor.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
