Broiled Eggplant with Provolone Recipe

Broiled Eggplant with Provolone Recipe

  • 1 large eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
  • 3/4 to 1 cup bottled Italian salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup (about) purchased marinara sauce
  • 12 slices (about) provolone cheese
  • 12 tablespoons (about) grated Parmesan cheese
  1. Lightly oil heavy large baking sheet. Brush both sides of 12 eggplant rounds generously with dressing; arrange on prepared sheet. Sprinkle rosemary and oregano over. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat broiler. Broil eggplant on baking sheet until brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. (Can be prepared 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  3. Preheat oven to 450°F. Top each eggplant slice with 1 rounded tablespoon sauce. Place 1 provolone slice atop each eggplant round and trim to fit. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Bake until cheeses melt and eggplant is heated through, about 5 minutes.
