  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese or vegan mozzarella
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan Cheese or nutritional yeast

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Slice the eggplant into even rounds about half an inch thick and sprinkle with salt. Let them sweat for 30 minutes.
  2. Rinse the eggplant slices with cold water to remove salt and pat them dry with paper towels.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place dried eggplant slices on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and roast for about 20 minutes.
  4. Mix mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and panko breadcrumbs in a bowl, and slice tomatoes into rounds.
  5. Layer roasted eggplant, tomato, and cheese mixture in a baking dish until topped.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining cheese and breadcrumb mixture over the top and drizzle with olive oil.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
  8. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to help layers set.
