Ingredients

  • 1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds

  • salt to taste

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 1 small onion, halved and sliced

  • 4 medium tomatoes, sliced

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar

  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs

  • pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season the eggplant slices with salt and let stand for about 10 minutes. Drain off liquid.

  2. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggplant and quickly brown on each side.

  3. Place one layer of eggplant slices into an 8-inch square baking dish. Cover with some tomato slices, then a few onion slices. Repeat layers until you run out of eggplant. Pour balsamic vinegar over everything.

  4. Stir bread crumbs and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil together in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Spread in a layer over vegetables.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until eggplant is tender and topping is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
