Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
- Cut eggplants lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick slices; you should get about 16 slices total.
- Arrange the slices on a baking sheet; sprinkle with salt on both sides and let stand for about 10 minutes. Then, using a paper towel, pat dry the eggplants.
- Brush both sides of the eggplant slices with olive oil and transfer them back to the baking sheets in a single layer.
- Roast the eggplant for about 8 minutes; flip over and continue to roast for 5 more minutes or until tender. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta, feta, 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/3 cup parmesan, garlic, eggs, salt, and pepper; mix and stir until well incorporated.
- Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish.
- Evenly divide the ricotta mixture among the eggplant slices and spread it down the center of each slice. Roll up the eggplant slices and place them seam-side down in the baking dish over the marinara sauce.
- Use any leftover cheese mixture to spoon around the eggplant rollups.
- Top the eggplants with the remaining marinara sauce and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
