mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining texture.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Slice eggplant into rounds and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Rinse eggplant slices and pat dry with paper towels.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add tomato sauce to the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Layer half of the eggplant slices in a baking dish.

Spread half of the tomato sauce mixture over the eggplant.

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.

Repeat layering with the remaining eggplant, sauce, and cheeses.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
