This is the perfect no guilt alternative to lasagna. Your charred eggplant serves as the perfect in between for that hearty texture with the cheesy goodness and tang of the tomato sauce. When I’m feeling like a nice big meal, this is my go to. Another option is to switch out the bocconcini for fresh mozzarella or ricotta cheese.
Slice eggplant into 1/4 inch slices length wise. brush generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. heat up the grill to medium – high heat. Preheat oven oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
Place eggplant on the grill. Let char slightly on one side – about 5 minutes. Flip and cook on the second side for another 3-4 minutes until each slice looks nicely grilled. Place on plate and let cool off.
Take the tomato sauce and line the bottom of the baking dish. Add 1 single layer of eggplant over the bottom of the dish. Top with a thin layer of tomato sauce, then bocconcini and mozzarella cheese.
Repeat step 3 with the remaining ingredients for subsequent layers, depending on the size of the baking dish. Keep a little extra mozzarella cheese for the top layer.
Place baking dish in oven for about 25 minutes, or until cheese starts to bubble. Remove from oven, top with parmesan cheese and serve!
