Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
¼ cup half-and-half
1 extra large egg
¼ cup ricotta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
salt and black pepper to taste
½ cup bottled marinara sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Preheat a grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill eggplant slices until cooked through and evenly browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Mix half-and-half, egg, ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl.
  • Arrange a layer of eggplant slices in each of 2 individual gratin dishes. Sprinkle each with 1/8 cup Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Spoon half the marinara sauce into each dish. Top each with a second layer of eggplant slices, more salt and pepper, half the ricotta mixture, and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese. Place the dishes on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the custard sets and the top is browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

The gratin turned out beautifully golden brown and bubbly. It was the perfect side dish for my roasted chicken.
