Cheesy Eggplant Skillet Recipe

July 23, 2015 by Lisa Pinney

IMG_4140

I think I’ve told you before of my love for eggplant!

I had picked up a couple the other day and created this wonderful dinner skillet that was ready in a flash!

My son, Daniel, even agreed that it was better than traditional lasagna…let’s see what you think!

Let’s get started!

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.

Peel and dice your eggplants; dice your onion.

In your skillet, saute’ the eggplant and onion in the olive oil until tender; add the oregano and minced garlic.

If your skillet is oven-proof, you can spread out the veggies to the edges to make the first layer–

if it’s not oven-proof, pour the veggies into a casserole dish.

Sprinkle Italian, breadcrumbs and parsley over the eggplant.
Now add the sauce.

Spread Mozzarella cheese over next.
Bake for 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.

All my step-by-step pictures were accidentally deleted from my phone…but I really think you’ve got this one!
