Cooking instructions

Step 1

Preheat Oven to 350-37

Step 2

Defrost the puff pastry sheets and spread over baking dish.Make the tomato sauce: Cook the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, onions, and garlic over medium heat until sauce thickens.

Step 3

Add water or more paste as necessary.

Step 4

Add in the herbs and stir. Slowly incorporate the half & half and agave and adjust until you reach the desired balance of acidity and savory.Precook the eggplant. I find this step extremely important unless youre using Japanese eggplants which cook more easily.

Step 5

Saute the eggplant slices in olive oil over medium to high heat and flip on other side until cooked and soft.

Step 6

Spread the tomato sauce into the baking dish on top of the puff pastry. Then layer the veggies and cheese on top (eggplant, zucchini, bell pepper, cheese, and so forth).

Step 7

Bake for about 40-50 minutes until puff pastry is golden brown and vegetables and cheese are bubbly without being overcooked.Be transported into the French countryside

Read it through first

Skim all 7 steps before you start — it is the difference between cooking and firefighting.

Scale it

Use the servings stepper above the ingredients and every quantity adjusts. Cooking times stay roughly the same.

Storage

Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Reheating

Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
