Ingredients
Main Ingredients (2 servings)
- Zucchini (appropriate amount)
- Eggplant (appropriate amount)
- Fresh Mozzarella Cheese (appropriate amount)
- Meat Sauce (appropriate amount)
- Milk (appropriate amount)
- Hard-boiled eggs (appropriate amount)
- Parmesan Cheese (appropriate amount)
- Butter
Seasonings
- Olive Oil
- Salt
Steps
- Remove the ends from the zucchini and cut in half.
- Slice the cut zucchini thinly.
- Add a small amount of olive oil to a frying pan and sauté the thinly sliced zucchini over high heat until lightly browned on the surface.
- Trim a small portion from the ends and bottom of the eggplant.
- Slice the eggplant thinly.
- Lightly sprinkle salt on the sautéing zucchini.
- Thin the meat sauce (store-bought is fine) with milk and warm it in the frying pan.
- Pat dry the fresh mozzarella cheese.
- Add a small amount of olive oil to a frying pan and sauté the thinly sliced eggplant. (Key Tip!) Using too much oil will make it heavy, so lightly grill it.
- Slice the mozzarella cheese into about 5 slices horizontally (or tear it).
- Thinly slice the hard-boiled eggs using a slicer (or a knife).
- Sprinkle salt evenly over the sautéing eggplant.
- Lightly grease a gratin dish with butter (optional).
- Place the sautéed eggplant and zucchini into the gratin dish randomly.
- Tear and place the mozzarella cheese on top.
- Spread the warmed meat sauce and arrange the hard-boiled eggs on top.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and add more mozzarella cheese.
- Layer with the sautéed vegetables (eggplant, zucchini, etc.) again, followed by meat sauce, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and hard-boiled eggs. You can also add pre-cooked broccoli or cauliflower.
- Finally, dot the top with butter.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for approximately 8 to 10 minutes. (Key Tip!) Baking the mozzarella cheese in the oven not only makes it wonderfully gooey but also adds a milky, creamy flavor to the entire dish.
- Once baked, it's ready to serve. (Key Tip!) If the vegetables release a lot of moisture, pre-baking them in the oven beforehand can help reduce the water content.
