Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven the 375 degrees.

Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Arrange the eggplant slices in rows on the sheet. Brush the slices lightly with olive oil. Top each slice with a zucchini round and brush them with olive oil. Sprinkle the oregano over the tops of the zucchini. Place a tomato slice over each zucchini round and brush the top with olive oil. Sprinkle a little salt over the top of each tomato.

Bake for 25 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the tomatoes and continue to bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese has just melted. Serve hot.

Variation: Use the broiler to melt the cheese-topped rounds instead of baking them.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.
