Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 SIDE-DISH SERVINGS

Ingredients

1 large eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
3/4 to 1 cup bottled Italian salad dressing
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 cup (about) purchased marinara sauce
12 slices (about) provolone cheese
12 tablespoons (about) grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Lightly oil heavy large baking sheet. Brush both sides of 12 eggplant rounds generously with dressing; arrange on prepared sheet. Sprinkle rosemary and oregano over. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

    Step 2

    Preheat broiler. Broil eggplant on baking sheet until brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)

    Step 3

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Top each eggplant slice with 1 rounded tablespoon sauce. Place 1 provolone slice atop each eggplant round and trim to fit. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Bake until cheeses melt and eggplant is heated through, about 5 minutes.
