Ingredients

  • 2 eggplants - medium sized
  • 2 large onions - caramelized
  • 4 large tomatoes - sliced
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup grated or shredded cheddar cheese
  • Miracle Whip or mayonnaise
  • 6 - 8 chopped fresh basil - may substitute with 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 Tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  • Slice eggplants, about ½ inch thick and toss them with olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt. Bake at 350 deg F for 10 - 15 minutes and set aside.
    Roasting Eggplants
  • Slice the onion and lightly fry in olive oil at medium temperature until just softened. Add a tbsp of balsamic vinegar and turn down the burner to low. Cook, turning occasionally for about 20 minutes. Set aside.
  • Slice the tomatoes, about 1/3 inch.
  • In a greased baking dish, make the layers:
    - baked eggplants
    - caramelized onion
    - tomatoes
  • Cover each layer with some grated cheese and mayo, fresh chopped basil and dried oregano.
    Making the layers for the casserole
  • Make as many layers as the baking dish's depth allows (at least 2) and bake at 350 deg F for 30 minutes or until bubbly and cooked through.
