Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 pounds eggplant, unpeeled, halved lengthwise, and sliced 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick
3/4 cup good olive oil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (24-ounce) jar marinara sauce, such as Rao's
1/2 cup julienned fresh basil leaves
1 pound fresh buffalo mozzarella, thinly sliced
8 ounces garlic and herb goat cheese, such as Montrachet
1½ cups freshly grated Italian Parmesan cheese
1 1/3 cups fresh bread crumbs from a country loaf
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or parsley leaves
1/4 cup good olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and arrange three racks evenly spaced.
  • Lay the eggplant in one layer on three sheet pans and brush both sides with olive oil, using all the oil. Sprinkle with the oregano, crushing it lightly in your hands, then sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the slices and rotate the pans in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, until tender. Leave the oven at 400 degrees F.
  • In a 10 by 14 by 2-inch ceramic baking dish, spread a third of the marinara sauce. Arrange a third of the eggplant on top in one layer. Scatter a third of the basil, a third of the mozzarella, a third of the goat cheese, and a third of the Parmesan on top. Repeat twice, starting with the marinara and ending with the Parmesan, making sure each layer is evenly distributed.
  • For the topping, place the bread crumbs, garlic, and basil in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the 1/4 cup olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse to moisten the crumbs. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dish.
  • Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until bubbling and golden brown. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

LOW-CARB EGGPLANT LASAGNA RECIPE BY TASTY



Low-Carb Eggplant Lasagna Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: large eggplants, sea salt, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, crushed san marzano tomato, fresh basil, large egg, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, italian seasoning

Provided by Crystal Hatch

Categories     Dinner

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggplants
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
olive oil, to taste
5 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
28 oz crushed san marzano tomato, 2 can
6 leaves fresh basil, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
1 large egg
15 oz ricotta cheese, 1 container
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
2 teaspoons italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cut off the ends of the eggplant, then slice lengthwise about ⅛-inch (3-mm) thick.
  • Sprinkle the eggplant slices with sea salt on both sides and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid.
  • Lightly grease a griddle pan with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Grill the eggplant slices for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until grill marks are visible. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-low heat, then add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Add the crushed tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of salt, stirring well to incorporate the garlic and red pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, reducing the heat if the sauce begins to bubble too much. Add the basil and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg, then add the ricotta, 1½ cups (150 g) of mozzarella, ¾ cup (80 g) of Parmesan, and the Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine.
  • Assemble the lasagna. In a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) baking dish, add enough sauce to cover the bottom of the dish and spread in an even layer. Add a layer of eggplant slices, covering the bottom of the dish completely. It's okay if the eggplant slices overlap slightly. Add a layer of the ricotta mixture and spread in a thin, even layer. Repeat with the remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of sauce. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, until cheese is fully melted.
  • Turn the broiler on high and broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese on top is browned and bubbly.
  • Remove the lasagna from the oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes before serving to give the lasagna time to set.
  • Serve garnished with fresh basil.
  • Enjoy!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegetarian Recipes

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium eggplants (1 1/2 pounds total), cut into 1/4-inch rounds
Coarse salt and pepper
2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes, pureed
3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1 1/2 cups plain dried breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano (2 ounces), divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup vegetable oil
1 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • In a colander, toss eggplant with 2 teaspoons salt. Let stand 30 minutes. Arrange slices in a single layer on a dish towel and roll up tightly to extract excess water.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium pot, bring tomatoes and garlic to a boil. Reduce heat and cook at a rapid simmer until thickened, 30 minutes.
  • In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Put flour and eggs in two more shallow dishes. Coat eggplant in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Coat with breadcrumbs.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large straight-sided skillet, heat oil over medium-high (a few breadcrumbs should sizzle when added). In batches, fry eggplant until golden brown and tender, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Spread 1 cup tomato sauce in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with half the eggplant, overlapping slices slightly, 2 cups sauce, and half the mozzarella. Repeat with remaining eggplant, sauce, and mozzarella, then sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • Bake until sauce is bubbling and cheese is golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
