Eggplant Manicotti

[TiggerToo]

1 medium sized eggplant
4 Tbsp. olive oil more if needed
1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup ricotta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 large egg well beaten
1 Tbsp. minced parsley
1 tsp. dried basil, crushed
1 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
salt and pepper to taste
1 (8-oz.) can tomato sauce
1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese

Preheat the oven to 350*F.

Peel eggplants cut in half and slice into thin long slices about 1/8 in. thick. You can use a mandolin to accomplish this. In a heavy skillet sauté each slice and cooking just long enough for the eggplant to be limp enough to roil. Cool slices on paper towels. Combine remaining ingredients except tomato sauce. Spread each eggplant slice with a thin layer of cheese mixture. Roll each slice and place in a large shallow casserole, crease side down, top with tomato sauce. Bake for 15 minutes. Pull out and top with additional mozzarella cheese. Bake for 10 – 15 more minutes until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
