Photo: Tomato and Eggplant Tian Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small eggplant, sliced 1/4-inch thick
- Kosher salt
- 2 small onions, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 small tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
Directions
Position the oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the eggplant slices, season with salt and cook until golden on both sides. Remove to a plate and repeat with the onion slices.
Rub a small baking dish with the garlic clove. Layer the eggplant, onions, and tomato slices in rows in the baking dish. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake until heated through and the tomatoes are soft but still hold their shape, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking dish and set the oven to broil. Sprinkle the tomatoes with the shredded cheese and broil to melt and brown the cheese, about another 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve.

The taste is wonderful. The eggplant is like a sponge and absorbed the oil quickly leaving the pan dry. Since I didn't want to keep adding oil I continued frying without more oil but added another tbsp. when doing the onions. I found the onion rings difficult to flip as they kept separating. I too may try roasting the slices as suggested in a previous review. Seasoned tomato slices with red pepper flakes, oregano and a little salt & pepper. Drizzled roasted garlic olive oil on top before baking. Can't wait to try the leftovers!

I thought this recipe was good, but next time i will add a little more flavor such as garlic/crushed red pepper. Sautéing the eggplant and onions did take some time, I might try roasting them in the oven next time because I don't want to have to stand there and wait, plus might be less oily that way too.
