Directions: |
Directions:1. Turn the oven on to high broiler setting
2. Place the eggplant slices single layer on a sheet, sprinkle with little salt and spray or sprinkle slightly with olive oil. Broil for 3 min and then turn over for 2 minutes depending on the oven. It should not char. Have to do this in batches. Easier if you use two cookie sheets and broil alternative ly
3. Combine all filling ingredients in a bowl
4. Take a slice of eggplant, spread ~ 1 full tablespoon of filling on third of it from one end and roll it to other end.
5. Add about 2 cups of sauce to the bottom of baking tray (Corning or glass 9×13)
6. Place the eggplant rolls on it.
7. Top each roll with sliced fresh mozzarella
(Cut the pre sliced cheese into half or one third )
Sprinkle some parmesan cheese. Add some more sauce between rolls.
8. Bake covered with foil at 400° for 30 minutes. Remove the cover and broil for about 3 minutes watching the cheese to just turn golden brown. |

Notes: Delicious recipe from Mala Aunti. You can do it in stages, get the eggplant ready the previous day and refrigerate in the baking tray. You can roll with the filling next day. Can freeze individual rollatinis and pull it out for a quick and easy dinner on weekdays
