Equipment

  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • Large skillet
  • Medium saucepan
  • Large Bowl
  • 8X8 Baking Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large Eggplant Sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 2 cups Breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup Vegan Mozzarella Shredded
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Parmezan Grated
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 2 tsp Dried Basil
  • Salt To Taste
  • Pepper To Taste
  • Olive Oil For Frying

Instructions
 

  • Begin your culinary dance by preheating your oven to 375 degrees. This warmth will embrace your eggplant slices like a passionate hug, preparing them for their transformation.
  • In a bowl large enough for two, whisk together almond milk, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Let each eggplant slice bathe in this mixture, absorbing the flavours that will soon sing in harmony on your palate.
  • Allow the eggplant slices to join hands with the breadcrumbs, ensuring each slice is coated generously.
  • Heat a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat, and gently lay the breaded eggplant slices in. Let them sizzle and sear until golden brown, mirroring the golden hues of a romantic sunset.
  • Arrange the seared slices on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. This step is a whisper of anticipation, a promise of the delight to come.
  • While the eggplant basks in the oven's warmth, simmer the marinara sauce in a saucepan, letting it bubble softly, like whispers of sweet nothings.
  • Once the eggplant slices have softened and browned, layer them in your baking dish with marinara sauce, vegan mozzarella, and a sprinkle of vegan parmesan. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, creating a beautiful symphony of love-infused flavours.
  • Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until the cheese has melted and the top is bubbly and golden. This is the crescendo, the culmination of your love-infused culinary journey.
  • Serve hot, and savour each bite as if you're savouring each moment of your shared love.
