    Lovely to look at as a starter, but I think a bit of seasoning is definitely needed. Like the idea of oregano and a touch of garlic, perhaps even smoked mozzarella or even just a touch of sea salt and cracked black pepper. I'm veggie and I love food packed with flavour, veggie food shouldn't be bland... when it's done properly it's as delicious as anything else.

    Good recipe, however it was slightly bland which I'm putting down to the mozzerella. Would be lovely with cheddar or a spicy cheese.

    Tried a variation using a thin smear of basil pesto under the tomatoes and mozzarella because I'd run out of fresh basil. It tasted lovely.

    Quick and easy evening meal. Cooking time was slightly longer than the one stated on the recipe. We are all meat eaters and thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. I served with salad and noodles, as we had cous cous the previous day. Will definately make again

    I am sorry to say this was a little bland first time so I took others advice and added fried onions,garlic and a green chilli for a bit of a kick as I can't resist! Baked aubergine for 25 mins with plenty of seasoning. Put onions etc on top then tomatoes and baked then added mozzarella last or 5 mins! Have even added a few king prawns before which also was yummy - as others have said use good quality produce .

    I decided to scoop the aubergine out and pile everything on top of some toasted slices of rustic bread instead. It worked very well as a starter but you need to remember to season in between the layers of aubergine, tomatoes and mozzarella. Also, if the tomatoes aren't in season it's not worth buying fresh.

    Tasty, healthy and (nice to have something) different. Taking advice from previous posters, I made my own sauce instead of the sliced tomatoes-Tinned cherry tomatoes, red onion, red pepper and seasoned with sugar, salt and pepper. Did everything else the same. Aubergine is really growing on me (and my BF)!

    PS we ate 2 halves each without any salad or cous cous on the side and it was perfectly satisfying.
