Easy Eggplant Dish

Our garden is bursting with vegetables, so, in an effort to use things while they were fresh, I threw this dish together. My husband took some of it for lunch before I had tried it, and he sent me a text that said, "This eggplant stuff is delicious!"

It's always encouraging to pull off a dish that was my own invention. Here's the simple step by step. We ate this dish both warm and cold, and it was summertime perfect both ways.

Ingredients

• 2 Eggplants (sliced like a tomato for sandwiches)
• 3 Tomatoes (sliced as you would for sandwiches)
• 4 oz. of Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
• Parmesan Cheese
• Fresh Basil
• Mineral Salt 
• Pepper

Preheat your oven to 350. In your CorningWare or Dutch Oven, cover the bottom with a layer of sliced eggplant. On top of that layer, add a layer of tomatoes. Repeat: another layer of eggplant, followed by another layer of tomatoes. Here I shredded 2 oz of mozzarella cheese. Next I added another layer of eggplant, followed by another layer of tomatoes, and then finished the layers with one last layer of eggplant. After the last eggplant layer, you shred another 2 oz of mozzarella cheese, and then sprinkle the dish liberally with parmesan cheese, mineral salt, and pepper. Lastly, I picked some fresh basil from our herb garden and (after rinsing it) added it to the top. Let your dinner bake for 30 minutes, while you rinse your cutting board. I love an easy dinner.
