Adapted from a Bon Appetit issue from June 1999, this recipe has been a favorite meatless lasagna for our family.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbl Olive Oil - Plus some for baking dish
- 3 Globe Eggplants - Cut crosswise
- 6 Lasagna Sheets
- 1-1/2 Cup Grated Gruyere Cheese
- 1-1/2 Cup Grated Low Moisture Mozzarella Cheese
- 2 Cups Homemade Tomato Sauce
- 1/4 Cup Olive Tapenade
- 3 Garlic Cloves - Minced
Preparation
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 425F degrees. Brush baking sheets with 1 tablespoon oil (or spray with oil). Place eggplant rounds in a single layer on prepared sheets. Brush eggplant with olive oil. Bake until soft, about 35 minutes. (You can also bake in the air fryer 375F degrees for 15 minutes). Finely dice the cooked eggplant.
Step 2:
Meanwhile cook lasagna in a large pot of boiling water until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 3:
Reduce oven temperature to 350F degrees. Brush 9 X 9 glass dish with 2 tablespoons oil. Lay down 2 lasagna noodles on top of the oil. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of Gruyere and 1/2 cup of Mozzarella cheeses. Add 1 cup of the tomato sauce. Add 1/3 of the diced eggplant. Lay down 2 more lasagna noodles. Spread the tapenade on top of the lasagna noodles. Add 1/2 cup of the Gruyere cheese and 1/2 cup of the Mozzarella cheese. Add half of the remaining eggplant. Add the remaining lasagna noodles and spread the minced garlic on top of the noodles. Add the rest of the eggplant, then drizzle the remaining cup of tomato sauce over the eggplant. Top with the remaining cheese.
Step 4:
Bake until the cheese melts, the top is lightly browned and lasagna is heated through, about 45 minutes.
