Comment préparer Best Eggplant Aubergine Lasagna
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour.
- Dip eggplant slices into the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray.
- Fry eggplant slices over medium-low heat until lightly browned on both sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Avoid overcrowding the pan; work in batches if necessary.
- Remove eggplant slices from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In a large bowl, combine 24 oz (680g) jarred tomato sauce, 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 2 cloves minced garlic.
- In a separate bowl, combine 15 oz (425g) ricotta cheese, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and 1 large egg, lightly beaten.
- Spread one-third of the tomato sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Layer with half of the fried eggplant slices. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Spread half of the ricotta cheese mixture over the eggplant.
- Repeat layers: remaining tomato sauce, remaining eggplant, remaining Parmesan cheese, and remaining ricotta cheese.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
- Let cool completely before slicing and freezing. To freeze: slice the cooled lasagna, wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap, and then place them in freezer bags for up to 3 months.
- To reheat from frozen: Place frozen lasagna portion in an oven-safe dish. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, microwave covered with a paper towel until heated.
