🍆🥔🍅 Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant, sliced into ½-inch rounds

  • 3 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely sliced
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
  • 1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a medium-sized baking dish.

2. Optional: Pre-cook Eggplant

To reduce bitterness and moisture, sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and let them sit for 15 minutes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Optionally, lightly brush with olive oil and bake or grill for 5–10 minutes to soften before layering.

3. Sauté Onions and Garlic

In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 5 minutes until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Remove from heat.

4. Layer the Casserole

Layer the vegetables in the baking dish in a repeating pattern:

  • Potato → Eggplant → Tomato → Onion mix
    Repeat until all ingredients are used. Slightly overlap each slice for a beautiful visual effect.
