Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prep Vegetables (10 minutes): Start by dicing the eggplants and tomatoes and finely chopping the onion.
  2. Sauté Vegetables (10 minutes): In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and cook until translucent. Add eggplant and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes or until the eggplant is tender. Remove from heat.
  3. Prepare Crumble Topping (5 minutes): In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and all breadcrumbs are coated with butter.
  4. Assemble and Bake (25 minutes): Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the eggplant-tomato mixture into a baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture on top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
