Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 large onion (diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 yellow pepper (diced)
  • 2 portobello mushroom caps (sliced)
  • 3 large tomatoes (diced)

  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella (sliced)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat a casserole dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Sauté onions for about 3 minutes, then add garlic and yellow pepper; cook for another 3 minutes.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook until moisture is released, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in diced tomatoes and herbs, then transfer to a bowl.
  4. In the same skillet, heat vegetable oil, add eggplant pieces with salt, and cook until lightly browned. Sprinkle flour on top and stir well before combining with the tomato mixture.
  5. In the prepared dish, layer one-third of the vegetable mixture, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella slices. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used up.
  6. Bake for about 30 minutes until bubbly. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
