Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch planks. Lay on a sheet pan, brush both sides with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Roast at 425°F for 8 minutes until edges start to curl and deepen in color.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, stir ricotta, egg, half the mozzarella, and oregano in a bowl until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Step 4

    Pull the sheet pan out. Spread a thin layer of marinara on the bottom. Layer half the eggplant slices, then half the ricotta mixture.

  5. Step 5

    Repeat with remaining eggplant, ricotta, and marinara. Top with remaining mozzarella.

  6. Step 6

    Bake at 425°F for 8 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Let cool 2 minutes, then serve.
