Cheesy Eggplant Bake

Kamikoto knives are designed for chefs and serious home cooks, and I used one when chopping up a large eggplant for my new Cheesy Eggplant Bake recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 large eggplant about 2 pounds, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 ounce jar marinara sauce
  • 6 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
  2. Heat the olive oil in your largest skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed eggplant and cook while stirring until it darkens in color, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour half the marinara sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Shake it around to ensure it's evenly spread. Add the eggplant on top.
  4. Sprinkle all but 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella on top of the eggplant, pour in the rest of the sauce, and top it with the remaining mozzarella and grated parmesan.
  5. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 25 - 30 minutes. Serve warm over whole-wheat noodles and topped with fresh basil.
