Chef Chris wanted to come up with a healthier alternative to the deep-fried eggplant you typically see on Italian menus, but without sacrificing any of the flavor. He decided on simply roasted thin slices of seasoned eggplant, layered Napoleon-style with hand-sliced fresh mozzarella, and served with fresh roasted tomato sauce. Garlicky broccolini and roasted peppers round out this filling and delicious meal, which also turned out to be low-carb and gluten-free in the process!

I want to personally thank the person who made this recently for me. Thank you for cutting up the broccolini! It was sliced up so nicely and big pieces cut into thin strips-i got my vegetables in!

This is a very good meal.. I just didn't care for the broccolini this last time. It seemed to be overcooked.

This is terrible all around. Everything is undercooked and chewy. There’s hardly any flavor and what there is, is kind of sour.
