Day 2 - Cheesy Eggplant Casserole

Our first super-fab guest meal comes from Francesca in Seattle - she sent in a wonderful recipe (complete with steps, although the CAPS are all mine) that will probably win a place in my monthly easy-meal rotation:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

2. One large EGGPLANT - sliced (I don't remove the skin) into thin ovals, put in an oven-proof casserole dish, season with OLIVE OIL, SALT, GARLIC POWDER, ITALIAN SEASONINGS

3. Douse with your favorite TOMATO SAUCE. I use Trader Joe's Four Cheese.

4. Cover dish with aluminum foil and stick in pre-heated oven and let cook for 20-25 minutes.

5. After about 20 minutes, remove and load up with a bag of pre-shredded MOZZARELLA CHEESE, then stick back in oven, uncovered, for another 10-15 minutes.

6. If the eggplant isn't soft, stick back in for another 10.

Well done! I know I'm going to hit farmer's market ASAP! I just might have to buy more than one large eggplant...mmm...
