Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Aubergines (Eggplants)
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 0.5 cup Heavy Cream
- 0.75 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Basil, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the aubergines into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush both sides of the aubergine slices with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Bake the aubergine slices in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender and slightly golden.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth, forming a cheese sauce.
In a baking dish, arrange a layer of baked aubergine slices. Pour a bit of the cheese sauce over the layer, followed by a sprinkle of Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layering process, ending with a generous layer of cheese on the top.
Place the baking dish back in the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh basil.
Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Cheesy Baked Aubergine!
