How to Make Baked Eggplant With Feta Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 355°F (180°C).
  2. Wash and trim 2 medium eggplants. Slice lengthwise into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  3. Heat 1/4 inch of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Lightly fry eggplant slices until slightly tender and lightly browned on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side). Set aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Arrange the fried eggplant slices in a lightly oiled 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Pour the tomato mixture evenly over the eggplant.
  7. Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese over the top.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the eggplant is tender and the cheese is golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot, warm, or at room temperature!
