CJ's Eggplant Casserole Thing

Totally stole this recipe from my neighbor CJ...but it's sooo flippin good that I had to share it.


1 medium eggplant, sliced 1/2 inch
3 small onions, chopped
4 Garlic cloves, chopped (the more the better)
2 eggs
100 pounds of mozzarella cheese
Salt, pep, olive oil
1 cup raw Spinach (if you want)
I jar of your fav spaghetti sauce (I like any flavor from Barilla)
9x9 Casserole dish




Preheat oven to 400. Saute half of the garlic and onions with the olive oil and dip the sliced eggplant in a bowl of mixed up raw eggs. then place the eggplant around on the top of the pan, so the eggplant cooks with the garlic and onion to soak in the flavors...it should look like a little pancake thing. flip and fry eggplant on both sides. Get your casserole dish ready with a thin layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom. Then put the first layer of eggplant down along with all the onions and garlic. Put some salt and pepper on top, with another thin layer of sauce. Then put a 50 pound layer of grated mozzarella. Then lay down all of your spinach and then repeat with a second layer of sauteed eggplant, onions and garlic. Then dump the rest of the sauce on top, put more pepper on top and the other 50 pounds of cheese. Bake for like 30 or 40 minutes until eggplant is tender and cheese is bubbly.


 I made the vegan version, which is also good, just no eggs and cheese. I was trying to be healthy...whats wrong with me.......aaaaaand you definitely need some bread with this because it is really juicy :)






This is CJ....He is blind in his left eye :(












CJ always gets a sourdough baguette and cuts it open long ways and makes garlic toast it and makes a sandwich out of it!! Seriously like the best god damned thing I have ever eaten, and it's not because I was high.
