Sauce and Cheese

Method

Sauce and Cheese Assembly

  1. 1

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a baking dish, start by spreading a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom. Add a layer of eggplant slices, followed by a layer of mozzarella cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and some fresh basil leaves. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of marinara sauce and a generous layer of mozzarella and Parmesan on top.

  2. 2

    Bake the Dish

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  3. 3

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove the eggplant parm from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with additional basil if desired.
