Directions
Baked Eggplant With Portabellas and Tomato Sauce (Vegetarian), The amount listed will serve about 3-4 people although my DH and DS could eat this dish by themselves lol! you can double this recipe if desired, white button mushrooms can be replace for the portabellos This dish will have you clammering for more, and it tastes even better the following day, but I doubt if there will be any leftovers lol! Use as much portabello mushrooms or button mushooms and cheeses as desired for this recipe, I don’t bother measuring This can be served as a side dish or a main dish, it’s a pretty filling dish especially if you use portabello mushrooms!, I made this last night but made a lite version For the middle layer of cheese used low fat ricotta and for the top layer used low fat shredded cheddar and half the amounts of cheese for both It was extremely delicious Was a hit with the family and requested to be put in the rotation!, I absolutely love this recipe I do add some spinach or chard generally and use tomato paste instead of sauce just to thicken it up a bit We recently became vegetarians in my house and this recipe has been a staple ever since Thanks for posting this one, and all your other wonderful recipes Kittencall! My family thinks i can cook because of you haha
