Ingredients
- 1 eggplant, peeled and finely diced
- A generous amount of butter
- A moderate quantity of flour
- A can of stewed tomatoes, around 28 ounces
- A finely chopped green bell pepper
- A medium-sized onion, finely chopped
- A dash of brown sugar for sweetness
- A pinch of salt for flavor
- A good amount of grated sharp Cheddar cheese
- A handful of fine bread crumbs
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to get things going. Meanwhile, get a large saucepan bubbling with water on the stove. Toss in the eggplant and let it simmer away until it's nice and tender, which should take around 10 to 15 minutes. Once done, drain the eggplant and transfer it into an 8-inch square baking dish.
Step 2
In another pot, melt some butter over medium heat and stir in flour to create a smooth paste. Next, toss in the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, a hint of brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let everything cook over medium to medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes. Pour this flavorful concoction over the eggplant nestled in the baking dish.
Step 3
Now, it's time to get cheesy! Sprinkle a generous amount of Cheddar cheese and bread crumbs over the vegetables in the baking dish.
Step 4
Pop the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake until it's hot, bubbly, and oh-so-delicious, which will take roughly 30 to 40 minutes. Enjoy your mouthwatering creation straight from the oven!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Embrace the magic of mason jars! Store your grated cheese in these versatile containers to keep it fresh and ready for sprinkling on your cheesy veggie bake.
- 2. Harness the power of compartmentalized containers. Keep your chopped veggies organized and easily accessible by storing them in separate compartments in the fridge.
