Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h2m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

3 eggs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 medium eggplants
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons diced red onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (14-ounce) can no-sugar-added diced tomatoes
1 (8-ounce) can no-sugar-added tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
15 ounces whole-milk ricotta cheese
8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup diced roasted red peppers
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
Leaves from 1 bunch of basil, torn into pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Make the Eggplant: Whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, water, salt, oregano, and garlic powder in a bowl. Trim the ends off each eggplant and, using a peeler, peel off 2 large swaths of skin on 2 sides. Cut each eggplant lengthwise into 6 slices about 1/2-inch thick. (If you end up with more than 12 slices, just pick out the best ones.) Dip each slice into the egg mixture and transfer to a vegetable spray-coated baking sheet with sides. (If the baking sheet seems crowded, divide the slices among 2 baking sheets.) Pour any remaining egg mixture over the eggplant and bake until lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly before carefully loosening each slice from the pan with a flat spatula. Turn oven down to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile make the Tomato Sauce: Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent. Add the remaining ingredients and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more.
  • Make the Cheese Filling: Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
  • To assemble the Rolatini: Place two tablespoons of cheese filling in the center of each eggplant slice and roll them up. Place the rolls in a single layer, seam side-down, in the baking dish, and pour the tomato sauce over the top. Cover the rolatini with the topping ingredients. Bake for 25 minutes until cheese starts to brown on top and filling starts to ooze out of the rolls. Remove and serve garnished with the basil.

Provided by Jenn1270

Categories     Spreads

Time 15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
fresh ground pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper
1 (12 ounce) jar strawberry preserves
cracker, of your choice (I like whole grain crackers)

Steps:

  • Combine cheese with mayo, chopped nuts and onions.
  • Mix in black pepper and cayenne, and blend thoroughly.
  • Press into a 3-cup ring mold.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • To serve, dip mold into a pan of hot water for 15-20 seconds before turning out onto a serving platter. Fill center with strawberry preserves. Serve with crackers of your choice.

Tips:

  • To ensure the eggplant is not bitter, choose younger eggplants with smooth, shiny skin and a deep purple color.
  • If you don't have a colander, you can use a large bowl with a strainer insert to drain the eggplant.
  • To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it according to the recipe. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the casserole in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
  • For a vegetarian version of the casserole, omit the ground beef and add an extra cup of vegetables, such as chopped zucchini, bell pepper, or mushrooms.
  • If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can make your own by toasting a few slices of bread and then crumbling them in a food processor.
