Ingredients
Method
Prepare Eggplant
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the eggplants lengthwise into thin strips and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out moisture.
Make Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Cook Eggplant
- Rinse the eggplant slices and pat them dry. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grill the eggplant slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are tender.
Assemble Rollatini
- Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a slice of eggplant, place a spoonful of the cheese mixture at one end, and roll it up. Place the roll seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining slices.
Bake
- Pour the remaining marinara sauce over the assembled rollatini. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Serve
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Notes
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes to the cheese filling.
