Eggplant and goat cheese lasagna

Eggplant and goat cheese lasagna is a delightful twist on the traditional lasagna. It features layers of tender eggplant, rich pasta sauce, and creamy goat cheese, making it a perfect dish for dinner parties or a comforting family meal. This combination creates a satisfying and flavorful experience that vegetarians and meat-lovers alike can enjoy.

Ingredients:

1 tsp vegetable oil
4.67g
1 eggplant
550g
4 cups pasta sauce
1030g
10 oz goat cheese
280g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Eggplant:
- Slice the eggplant lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Lightly sprinkle the slices with salt and let them sit for about 20 minutes. This will help draw out any bitterness.
3. Cook the Eggplant:
- After 20 minutes, rinse the eggplant slices under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the eggplant slices in batches and cook until they are tender and golden brown, approximately 3-5 minutes per side. Set the cooked slices aside on a plate.
4. Layer the Lasagna:
- Spread a thin layer of pasta sauce at the bottom of an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish.
- Place a layer of cooked eggplant slices over the sauce.
- Crumble about one-third of the goat cheese over the eggplant layer.
- Repeat the layers: spread another layer of pasta sauce, add another layer of eggplant slices, and crumble another third of the goat cheese.
- Finish with a final layer of sauce, eggplant, and the remaining goat cheese on top.
5. Bake the Lasagna:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and lightly browned.
6. Rest and Serve:
- Remove the lasagna from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help the layers set and make it easier to cut.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious Eggplant and Goat Cheese Lasagna!

Tips:

- Choose a firm and shiny eggplant for the best texture and flavor.

- Slice the eggplant evenly to ensure it cooks uniformly.

- You can salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for 30 minutes to remove any bitterness before cooking.

- Use a high-quality pasta sauce to enhance the overall flavor of the dish.

- Feel free to add other vegetables, like spinach or mushrooms, for extra nutrients and flavor.

- For a crispy top layer, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese or breadcrumbs before the final bake.

- Let the lasagna rest for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set properly.

Eggplant and goat cheese lasagna is a hearty and delicious meal that brings together the creaminess of goat cheese with the rich flavors of eggplant and pasta sauce. By following these tips, you can create a dish that's sure to impress your family and friends. Serve it with a fresh salad or crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
