Three Ingredient Eggplant Bake

This summer we've had two very successful eggplant plants. Having never cooked with eggplant before, I have learned to get creative by adding it to stir fry, pasta, and this tasty dish that is full of "cheesy goodness" as Cole would say. Best of all, only three main ingredients! 

Three Ingredient Eggplant Bake

(makes two 9x13 pans)

Ingredients:

-6-7 medium sized eggplants

-two jars of your favorite red pasta sauce

-one brick of fresh mozzarella cheese 

-olive oil

-salt 

-fresh basil 

Instructions:

1. Slice eggplants into 1/4 inch slices. Lay slices on a cookie sheet (no overlapping), brush the tops with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. 

2. Bake the eggplant slices at 375 for about 30 minutes until lightly browned. 

3. Starting with the sauce, then eggplant, followed by cheese, layer the ingredients in both pans. 

4. Bake pans until bubbling, about 30-40 minutes. 

5. Sprinkle with fresh basil, serve with salad and garlic bread.
