Using three or four recipes I have for lasagna and/or eggplant I came up with this dish. We loved it and I hope you do as well. It is a pretty healthy version.

How To Make eggplant lasagna

  • 1
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet, add onion and sauté until translucent.
  • 2
    Add garlic, carrot, bell pepper and green chilies; stir for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • 3
    Add Queso Blanco cheese, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and parsley and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
  • 4
    Heat oil in another skillet (I used a griddle pan) and cook slices of eggplant until they turn light brown on both sided.
  • 5
    Pour some of the pasta sauce in a 9x13x2" baking dish. Enough to cover the bottom of the dish.
  • 6
    Put one layer of the eggplant on the sauce then layer the vegetable/cheese mixture over the eggplant. Follow with another layer of eggplant.
  • 7
    Pour remaining pasta sauce over the dish and top with mozzarella cheese.
  • 8
    Bake covered at 425 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove dish, uncover, and add a little more mozzarella over it along with a little basil and parsley. Place back in over to melt the cheese and serve.
