Method

  • step 1

    Trim the stalks from the aubergines, then cut each into 6 slices lengthwise. Lay them in one layer on a grill pan and lightly brush with oil and a little seasoning. Grill until lightly browned, turn them over, brush with oil again, then grill until browned and tender.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a non-stick pan, add the onion and gently fry until softened. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5 mins. When the aubergines are cool, spread half the slices with a little soft cheese and cover with the remaining slices to make sandwiches.

  • step 3

    Spread half the sauce over a shallow ovenproof dish. Arrange the aubergine sandwiches, overlapping, over the top and pour over the remaining sauce. Sprinkle over the crumbs, then grill until browned.

This was quite nice and really easy. Following other people’s advice I made a sauce with the chopped tomatoes and onions. I added some oregano and seasoning too.

Added chopped bell pepper with onions and 3 garlic cloves in to the tomato sauce. It made a difference

Added 3 cloves of garlic to the sauce, along with some dried herbs and some anchovy. Used parmesan as well as cream cheese. Lovely served with sausages and garlic bread. Served 4 easily

This was so yummy - totally agree with other users, it takes 5 mins to make your own sauce with tinned toms garlic and onions with some herbs. I also added a little goats cheese to the spinach mix, delicious!

Loved it, tastes so good and filling. However this really shouldn't qualify as easy or quick with the amount of pans you need to use and switch, it also looked really unimpressive. After it finally being done I just had one small taste, not expecting much. An entire aubergine later I finally managed…
