Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium eggplant (about 1 lb), sliced into 3/4-inch rounds
3 teaspoons minced garlic, divided (about 3 cloves)
1 1/4 cups canned crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
4 oz (about 1/2 cup) ricotta cheese
1 oz (about 1/2 cup) grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg yolk
4 oz (about 1 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 450 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and brush the parchment with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
In a large bowl, combine the eggplant, 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss to combine. Spread the eggplant in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast until golden brown, about 35-45 minutes, flipping the eggplant halfway through. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let cool while you prepare the remainder of the ingredients. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 F.
In a small saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil along with 2 teaspoons of the garlic over medium heat. Don't walk away - you want the garlic fragrant but not burnt (and it happens quickly). Add the tomatoes to the pan and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook until thickened (it should measure about 1 cup), 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat under the pan, then add the basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
Stir together the ricotta, 6 tablespoons of the Parmesan, the egg yolk, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
Layer the casserole: spread 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce on the bottom of an 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 baking dish, followed by half of the roasted eggplant, 1/4 cup more tomato sauce, half of the ricotta mixture and 1/2 cup mozzarella. Repeat that process once more.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil that you've sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and bake for 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, 1 teaspoon garlic, 2 tablespoons Parmesan and panko. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Once the filling is bubbling, take the casserole out of the oven, remove the foil and sprinkle the panko mixture evenly over the top. Continue baking, uncovered, until the topping is golden brown and crisp, about 20-25 more minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving. Serves 4-6
