Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the eggplants into ½-inch rounds, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Lay them out on a baking sheet.
- Roast the eggplant in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, and the large egg until smooth.
- In a 9x13 baking dish, spread about ½ cup of marinara sauce across the bottom. Layer half of the roasted eggplant slices on top.
- Dollop and spread half of the ricotta mixture over the first layer of eggplant.
- Continue layering with another layer of marinara sauce, the remaining eggplant slices, and the second half of the ricotta mixture.
- Top off with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and the cheese is golden brown.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes, then garnish with freshly chopped basil before serving.
