This dish is made with layers of thinly sliced zucchini and eggplant, topped with a rich tomato sauce and melted cheese.

To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced thinly
- 2 medium eggplants, sliced thinly
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon of dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the can of diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
In a separate skillet, lightly sauté the zucchini and eggplant slices until they are slightly softened. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will continue to cook in the oven.
To assemble the dish, start by spreading a layer of the tomato sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Add a layer of zucchini slices, followed by a layer of eggplant slices. Repeat until all of the vegetables are used up. Top with the remaining tomato sauce and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
This dish is a perfect combination of savory and cheesy flavors, with a slightly sweet taste from the zucchini and eggplant. It is a great vegetarian option that is sure to satisfy even the most carnivorous of eaters. Serve it as a main dish or as a side dish with your favorite protein.
