*Ingredients:*

– 1 large eggplant, sliced into rounds
– Olive oil, for brushing
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 cup Italian tomato sauce (homemade or store-bought)
– 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

*Instructions:*

1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper.
3. Grill the eggplant slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have grill marks. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
5. In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of Italian tomato sauce.
6. Place a grilled eggplant slice on top of the sauce. Spoon a small amount of tomato sauce on the eggplant, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
7. Repeat the layers, creating stacks of grilled eggplant, sauce, and cheese until you’ve used all the ingredients. Finish with a final layer of sauce and cheese on top.
8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and let the stacks cool slightly before serving.
10. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
