I have eggplants, mozarella and tomatoes. Is there an easy recipe using these ingredients? Thanks in advance.....
Thanks katie, I don't have parmesan, but I have two other types of grated cheeses...The first thing that comes to mind is a take on eggplant Parmesan. Slice the eggplant about 1/4-inch thick, dredge in egg, then in breadcrumbs and fry in olive oil until the breadcrumb crust is browned and a bit crispy. Drain and then layer in a casserole alternately with sliced tomatoes and cheese. Add seasonings of your preference, but garlic, oregano and basil are great combos. Cover and bake.
This isn't a specific recipe, just a guide to get you started.
Thank you Lee, I have different herbs but strangely not basil currently, and as we know basil is so important in combination with tomatoes, I think...Here's an easy one, Argamemnon. Hostess with the Mostess® - Eggplant, Tomato, and Mozzarella Stacks
There are lots of recipes for "eggplant stacks" out there. If you have some herbs like basil or oregano, and a little olive oil for drizzling on the eggplant before baking, all the better!

Should I mince the garlic and coat each slice of eggplant with it, or should I just put whole cloves between the layers in the casserole? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm not as experienced as you
True, but I was a little intimidated when I saw that you are a Certified Master ChefNot a stupid question at all. The only stupid question is the one you DON'T ask.
Thanks, I never use garlic powder though, I prefer fresh garlic...As for the garlic, you can mince it and sprinkle it through the layers or, if you are using canned tomatoes, mix it with the tomatoes. Really, it's your preference how you wish to use it. You could even use some garlic powder in the breadcrumbs that are used to coat the eggplant instead of using minced garlic.
That would be bad, lol....The worst that can happen is you have to order pizza or make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
