INGREDIENTS
1 cup Eggplant (roasted)
4 ounces Ground Beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 medium Onion, chopped
1/2 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Mixed Dried Herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds, brush lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried herbs. Roast on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes until tender.
While the eggplant roasts, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining olive oil, then sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and mixed dried herbs. Cook until browned and fully cooked through.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
In a casserole dish, layer the roasted eggplant slices with the beef and tomato mixture. Top with the part-skim mozzarella cheese.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
