How to Tell It's Done
- until the slices are soft and pliable
- until the cheese is bubbling
Tips
- Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
- Give it room in the pan: crowded vegetables steam instead of browning.
- An eggplant slice that hasn't fully softened cracks when rolled: roast it until soft and pliable, and roll it while it's lukewarm.
Common Mistakes
- Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
More Ways
- For the filling, about 200–250 g ricotta, with Parmesan, garlic and herbs; place a spoonful of filling at the end of each slice and roll up.
- Arrange the rolls seam side down in a baking dish over tomato sauce and bake at 220°C (430°F) for 20–25 minutes, until the edges of the eggplant brown.
