Eggplant (Aubergine) and Feta Casserole image

This is a new favorite of mine. I was blown away by the wonderful flavors. I'm not a vegetarian but didn't miss meat with this. The onions turn out still crunchy, which I liked but if you don't you might try sautéing them in a little oil first.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large eggplant, peeled and cut int 1/2 inch slices
cooking spray
1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup fresh parsley, minced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
3 large eggs, beaten
1 large onion, finely chopped (I used red)
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon dry oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground sage
1 pinch cayenne

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300°F; spray oil a casserole dish (I used a low oval one).
  • Spray oil a large frying pan and heat over high heat. Place eggplant slices in a single layer (you may have to do 2 batches). Cook for 3-5 minutes each side until browned. Place in prepared casserole dish evenly across the bottom (some may overlap).
  • Pour stewed tomatoes over eggplant in an even layer, then feta, parsley and cilantro (in that order).
  • In a small bowl, combine eggs, onion, salt, pepper, allspice, oregano, sage and cayenne. Pour evenly over items in casserole dish.
  • Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for another 10-20 minutes until firm.
  • Serve hot or cold.
