Servings: 8
3 medium eggplants, peeled, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices (about
6 slices per eggplant)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp dried Italian herb mix
1 tsp coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 oz sliced provolone cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan or Asiago cheese

Nonstick cooking spray
Place eggplant slices on a large pan or platter, rub with olive oil,
then garlic, Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Let stand 5 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Heat a large nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray pan with
oil and saute eggplant slices until lightly brown on both sides.
Spoon 1/2 cup marinara into a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish. Top with about
6 eggplant slices, 6 cheese slices and a few basil leaves. Top with
1 1/2 cups sauce and repeat layering, ending with sauce and Parmigiano
Reggiano cheese.
Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional
10 to 15 minutes until surface is golden brown.
