- Soaking the eggplant slices in salted water helps to remove the bitterness.
- Be sure to drain the eggplant slices thoroughly before cooking to prevent excess moisture in the casserole.

- Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme add a pop of flavor to the casserole.
- Don't overcook the casserole. It should be cooked through, but still have a slight bite to it.
