Ingredients:
- 2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the eggplants: Place the eggplant slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the eggplant slices are tender and lightly browned.
- Prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the marinara sauce, oregano, and basil. Let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes to combine the flavors.
- Assemble the gratin: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce. Layer the baked eggplant slices on top of the sauce. Top with more sauce, mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
- Bake the gratin: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
