Eggplant Gratin image

This is one of my favorite eggplant dishes - eggplants, tomatoes, and bell peppers are baked in the oven in a creamy feta sauce. To die for!

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 eggplants
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) package feta cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil, or more to taste
1 splash olive oil
4 ripe tomatoes, sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, chopped

Steps:

  • Slice eggplants in such a way that the slices are still connected at the bottom. Sprinkle with salt and set aside for 20 minutes. Wash off salt under running cold water and pat dry.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
  • Mash feta cheese and cream together with a fork. Mix in garlic, parsley, basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Place eggplants with the cut-side up into the prepared baking dish. Arrange tomato slices and bell pepper pieces alternately in between the eggplant slices. Pour feta-mixture over eggplants and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until feta cheese is melted and eggplants are cooked through, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle with more parsley.

Overall, this was a good recipe. I would make it again, but I would make a few changes to the ingredients and cooking time.

The eggplant was a little too mushy for my liking. I think I would have preferred it if it was cooked for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked more garlic and herbs.

I added some chopped spinach to the gratin and it gave it a nice pop of color and flavor.

I substituted mozzarella for Parmesan cheese and it was still delicious. This dish is very versatile.

I loved the crispy Parmesan crust on top of this gratin. It added a nice crunch to the dish.

This eggplant gratin was a hit with my family! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was creamy and smooth. I will definitely be making this again.
