  • ½ tsp rosemary

  5. Take a slice of eggplant into your hand and spoon a dollop of the filling onto the end.
  6. Roll the eggplant and place in the casserole dish on top of the sauce. Repeat until your casserole dish is filled.

Notes
  • TIP: place the eggplant slices in an even layer on a cutting board and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 5 to 7 minutes and then pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This will ensure that your final product isn't too watery.
