Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange 3 medium eggplant slices (1/2-inch thick) on baking sheets, brush both sides with 4 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Roast for 20 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Step 3: In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half the roasted eggplant slices, then cover with half the sliced 4 large tomatoes, sprinkle half the garlic-oregano oil mixture, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Step 4: Repeat the layering with remaining eggplant, tomatoes, garlic-oregano oil, feta, and panko. Sprinkle top with 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil.
  5. Step 5: Bake uncovered for 25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Let cool 10 minutes before serving to let layers set.
