Recipe: La Parmigiana #3

So I've decided to try a healthier version of the classic Parmigiana.

2 small eggplant (or 1 large) sliced thinly
1 jar of tomato sauce (homemade or store bought is fine)
Parmesan cheese
salt
pepper
oregano

Preheat the oven to 350°.
Ladle a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of an oven proof dish.  Lay down the pieces of eggplant leaving as few gaps as possible. Sprinkle with pepper, salt, oregano and another layer of sauce. Cover with parmesan cheese. Repeat until you run out of eggplant. Cover the last layer liberally with sauce and cheese.
Bake for 35-45 minutes checking periodically that the cheese does not burn.
Serve warm.

This came out quite good and delicious, but since the eggplant was not fried in oil, there was a little less flavor. Next time I think I'll be adding some mozzarella and ricotta. Maybe even some prosciutto!  (So much for healthy ahaha).
