directions

  • Preheat oven to 350Ëš. Spray oil on the bottom and sides of a 9” round casserole with 3-4” high sides.
  • Slice the whole mozzarella into pieces approximately 3”x2” and ¼” thick. You can buy mozzarella already cut like this if preferred.
  • Slice the peeled eggplant into ¼” slices, lightly dredge in flour. Preheat a flat-bottom skillet; coat with olive oil; add eggplant slices in single layer 4-6 at a time or whatever will fit in pan without crowding. Sauté the eggplant on one side until lightly browned then turn and sauté on other side until lightly browned. Transfer cooked eggplant to a plate until all is cooked.
  • When eggplant is finished, if you want to add the squash to this dish (which is delicious), lightly toss the squash with salt and pepper to taste; sauté the squash in olive oil until lightly browned on both sides.
  • Layer eggplant, onion, squash, sauce, 5-6 mozzarella cheese pieces, 8 basil leaves on top of the cheese. Repeat layers until casserole dish is full. Top with fresh shredded parmesan or Romano cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered at 350Ëš for 45-50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

  1. Very nice casserole. I did not use the squash this time but will definitely the next time I make this. The only thing I will do different is to saute the onions before assembling the casserole because I would like them to be softer. This recipe came together very quickly. Made for New Kids on the Block.
