Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Slice the Eggplant lengthways into 1/2 inch slices. Leave the skin on.
  4. Brush the olive oil onto both sides of the slices. (I also substitute olive oil spray).
  5. Bake in the oven on the middle rack for 20 minutes.
  6. While the eggplant is baking prepare the topping.
  7. Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil into a frying pan. Heat on medium.
  8. Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic and cook until soft.
  9. Add the mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are soft and cooked through.
  10. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until the liquid is evaporated.
  11. Remove the eggplant from oven and top each slice with the mushroom and tomato sauce.
  12. Add the grated mozzarella on each slice and return to the oven.
  13. Cook for another 10 minutes or until the eggplant slice is soft and the cheese has melted.
  14. Remove from the oven and let sit 5 minutes before serving. This lets the flavours and ingredients settle.
  15. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
