Super Cheesy Eggplant Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Oil 2 baking sheets and a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
• Whisk eggs and water together in a shallow dish. Combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, salt, and ground black pepper in a separate shallow dish.
• Dip eggplant slices into egg mixture, then press each gently into bread crumb mixture. Gently tap off any excess crumbs. Arrange slices on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake eggplant slices in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Flip eggplant and bake an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove eggplant from the oven and increase temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and stir in ground beef. Season beef with salt and ground black pepper. Cook and stir until beef is browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir tomato sauce into ground beef; bring to a simmer and set sauce aside.
• Place 1/3 of the eggplant slices on bottom of the dish. Pour 1/3 of tomato sauce with ground beef on top of eggplant layer. Sprinkle 1/3 of mozzarella cheese on top of sauce layer. Repeat 2 more times, finishing with a layer of mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Cook turkey with Italian seasoning and garlic powder in large nonstick skillet until done; drain.
• Mix egg white, ricotta, Parmesan and 1 tsp. each parsley and basil until blended.
• Spread ¾ cup sauce in bottom of 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Layer half each of the eggplant, ricotta mixture, turkey mixture, remaining sauce and shredded cheese; repeat layers except do not add remaining shredded cheese. Cover.
• Bake 1 hour. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese, parsley and basil. Bake 15 to 20 min. or until cheese is melted and lasagna is heated through. Let stand 10 min. before serving.

Steps:

• For the meat sauce: In a stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the beef (do not brown first), tomato sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic salt, bay leaves and onion. Add 2 cups water. Mix until combined. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Stir in the vinegar and simmer for another 30 minutes.
• For the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and place the dish on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a medium bowl combine the ricotta, basil, parsley, garlic salt, red pepper flakes, if using, and egg and stir until well blended.
• Spread 2 cups meat sauce across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place 4 noodles over the sauce-it is okay if they overlap slightly. Dollop 2/3 cup of the ricotta mixture on the noodles, then spread it in an even layer. Top the ricotta with 4 slices ham, then 4 slices provolone. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella over the provolone. Repeat the layering-sauce, noodles, ricotta, ham, provolone, mozzarella-twice more. Top with another layer of noodles, then the Parmesan and the remaining mozzarella.
• Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake until the dish is bubbling and the noodles are cooked (you can test by poking with a sharp knife to make sure the noodles are soft), about 50 minutes. Remove the foil and return to the oven until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes, then serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Lightly mist a 13x9" baking dish with olive oil spray & set aside.
• Lightly mist the eggplant with olive oil spray. Place on a nonstick baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides with garlic salt. Broil 6" from the heat source for 3-5 minutes per side, or until tender & browned in spots.
• Meanwhile, lightly mist a nonstick skillet with olive oil spray. Set over med. heat and cook ground turkey until no longer pink.
• Remove turkey & re-spray the pan with olive oil spray. Add mushrooms and garlic. Stir occasionally for approx 8-10 minutes or until mushrooms are turning brown.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Place 1/2 of the eggplant in the bottom of baking pan, then 1/2 of the mushroom mixture, the 1/2 of the turkey, 1 tsp italian seasoning, 1/2 the marinara & 1/2 the cheese. Repeat layers, then cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Remove fol & bake for 10- 15 more minutes or until cheese is bubbly. Remove & let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into 6 squares.
