Ingredients
Instructions
Slice the eggplant and boil for 10 minutes with a little salt. Remove, drain well and set aside.
Simultaneously, chop the onion, tomato and garlic.

Next, add the tomato and chopped basil leaves. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cook for 5-7 more minutes and remove from heat. If you wish, you can pour the sauce into a blender.
In a baking pan, place a little sauce on the base, top with the eggplants, the remaining sauce and the cheeses.
Cook in the oven at minimum heat for 20 minutes. If you do not have an oven, you can use a pan, cover and cook over medium-low heat.
